Not a standard texlive","articleBody":"\u003c!--To help us understand and resolve your issue, please fill out the form to the best of your ability.--\u003e\r\n\u003c!--You can feel free to delete the sections that do not apply.--\u003e\r\n\r\n### Bug report\r\n\r\n**Bug summary**\r\n\r\n`type1ec.sty` not found. I have never encountered this before v3.2.1. Standard texlive (`apt install texlive-latex-extra`) does not come with this (only `type1cm.sty`).\r\n\r\n**Code for reproduction**\r\n\r\n\u003c!--A minimum code snippet required to reproduce the bug.\r\nPlease make sure to minimize the number of dependencies required, and provide\r\nany necessary plotted data.\r\nAvoid using threads, as Matplotlib is (explicitly) not thread-safe.--\u003e\r\n\r\n```python\r\nimport numpy as np\r\nimport matplotlib\r\nmatplotlib.rcParams['pgf.texsystem'] = 'pdflatex'\r\nmatplotlib.rcParams.update({'font.family': 'serif', 'font.size': 18,\r\n    'axes.labelsize': 20,'axes.titlesize': 24, 'figure.titlesize' : 28})\r\nmatplotlib.rcParams['text.usetex'] = True\r\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\r\n\r\nfig, ax = plt.subplots(1,1)\r\nx = np.random.norm(0,1)\r\ny = np.random.norm(0,2)\r\nax.plot(x,y, label='a label')\r\nax.legend(fontsize=15)\r\n```\r\n\r\n**Actual outcome**\r\n\r\n\u003c!--The output produced by the above code, which may be a screenshot, console output, etc.--\u003e\r\nSorry for the short description, \r\n```\r\n...\r\ntype1ec.sty not found.\r\n...\r\n```\r\n\r\n**Expected outcome**\r\n\r\n\u003c!--A description of the expected outcome from the code snippet--\u003e\r\n\u003c!--If this used to work in an earlier version of Matplotlib, please note the version it used to work on--\u003e Expected no problems with plotting. `fontsize=12` runs on some choices of label. Labels with a single character also produce no error...\r\n\r\n**Fix**\r\non linux: `apt install cm-super`.\r\n\r\nIs it now necessary  to have cm-supper for plotting TeX? \r\n\r\n**Matplotlib version**\r\n\u003c!--Please specify your platform and versions of the relevant libraries you are using:--\u003e\r\n  * Operating system: Linux (Ubuntu 19.10)\r\n  * Matplotlib version: 3.2.1\r\n  * Matplotlib backend (`print(matplotlib.get_backend())`): `module://ipykernel.pylab.backend_inline` (seems strange to me)\r\n  * Python version: 3.7.6\r\n  * Jupyter version (if applicable): 6.0.3\r\n  * Other libraries: \r\n\r\n\u003c!--Please tell us how you installed matplotlib and python e.g., from source, pip, conda--\u003e\r\n\u003c!--If you installed from conda, please specify which channel you used if not the default--\u003e\r\n\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/LRydin","@type":"Person","name":"LRydin"},"datePublished":"2020-03-26T07:32:36.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":10},"url":"https://github.com/16911/matplotlib/issues/16911"}
