Bug description
When using matplotlib with usetex=True, a Latex error is produced.
Actual behaviour
The example below produces

How to reproduce
- Open an arbitrary Binder notebook with Python 3 kernel
- Paste the following
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.rc('text', usetex=True)
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot()- Execute
- See error

Indeed, that's where I come from. I linked to the issue there.

Thanks for your bug report. Would you mind re-opening this issue on the relevant repo, I presume you're referring to https://github.com/binder-examples/latex ?
Thanks!
berndflemisch commented
Ok, thanks for pointing me there. In fact, the issue tracker there tells me that I should file an issue at https://github.com/jupyterhub/binder/issues. Which I did: jupyterhub/mybinder.org-user-guide#211.

I kept experiencing the same problem and after reading a bit more, I think the issue is regarding the installed version of LaTeX. I solved the problem by installing the cm-super family (e.g., sudo apt install cm-super)
