I am trying to use text rendering with Latex on Matplotlib for the code:
plt.rcParams.update({
"text.usetex": True,
"font.family": "sans-serif",
"font.sans-serif": ["Helvetica"]})
However am getting the following error:
RuntimeError: LaTeX was not able to process the following string:
b'lp'
Here is the full report generated by LaTeX:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.14159265-2.6-1.40.18 (TeX Live 2017/Debian) (preloaded
