From the beginning, the versions I have are:
Ipython: 1.1.0
Matplotlib: 1.3.1
Latex: pdfTeX 3.1415926-2.4-1.40.13 (TeX Live 2012 / Debian)
OS: Ubuntu 12.04
I want to plot what is below, in an Ipython-Notebook session
# Using the magic encoding
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
fig_width_pt = 512#246.0 # Get this from LaTeX using
# \showthe\columnwidth
inches_per_pt = 1.0/72.27 # Convert pt to inch
golden_mean = (sqrt(5)-1.0)/2.0 # Aesthetic ratio
fig_width = fig_width_pt*inches_per_pt # width in inches
fig_height = fig_width*golden_mean # height in inches
fig_size = [fig_width,fig_height]
params = {'backend': 'ps',

Is there any way to use the characters: á, à, é, í, õ, ú and other accented characters?
