Try using all mathtext fontset in python and matplotlib.pyplot

The result (computer modern: cm) is:

In this page, I try using all mathtext fontset in python and matplotlib.pyplot. It seems that the resulting text of \mathbb{hogehoge}, \mathrm{\mathbb{hogehgoe}}, \mathfrak{hogehoge}, \mathsf{hogehoge}, and \mathrm{\mathsf{hogehoge}} are same.

In [1]:

%matplotlib inline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Check the options for rcParams['mathtext.fontset']

In [2]:

plt.rcParams['mathtext.fontset'] = 'hoge'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ValueError                                Traceback (most recent call last)

     71 

ValueError: Unrecognized fontset string "hoge": valid strings are ['dejavusans', 'dejavuserif', 'cm', 'stix', 'stixsans', 'custom']

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

ValueError: Key mathtext.fontset: Unrecognized fontset string "hoge": valid strings are ['dejavusans', 'dejavuserif', 'cm', 'stix', 'stixsans', 'custom']

So, we have fololowing 5 (+1 for further geek person) options: 'dejavusans', 'dejavuserif', 'cm', 'stix', and 'stixsans'.
