LaTeX can't find file for text in plot

edit

not sure this is answering your question but now it's ok for me no more error, you just need to install like it is said here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...

sudo apt-get install dvipng texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended cm-super

now it's ok for me in9.4 W10 WSL2 UBUNTU 20.04 , you just need to install supplementary package like it is said here

with the command :

sudo apt-get install dvipng texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended cm-super

but there is a default \text{blabla} still does not work ;-(

this code is now also working for me now(it was not before the new package):

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
# interface tracking profiles
N = 500
delta = 0.6
X = np.linspace(-1, 1, N)
ax.plot(X, (1 - np.tanh(4 * X / delta)) / 2,    # phase field tanh profiles
        X, (1.4 + np.tanh(4 * X / delta)) / 4, "C2",  # composition profile
        X, X < 0, "k--")                        # sharp interface

# legend
ax.legend(("phase field", "level set", "sharp interface"),
          shadow=True, loc=(0.01, 0.48), handlelength=1.5, fontsize=16)

# the arrow
ax.annotate("", xy=(-delta / 2., 0.1), xytext=(delta / 2., 0.1),
            arrowprops=dict(arrowstyle="<->", connectionstyle="arc3"))
ax.text(0, 0.1, r"$\delta$",
        color="black", fontsize=24,
        horizontalalignment="center", verticalalignment="center",
        bbox=dict(boxstyle="round", fc="white", ec="black", pad=0.2))

# Use tex in labels
ax.set_xticks([-1, 0, 1])
ax.set_xticklabels(["$-1$", r"$\pm 0$", "$+1$"], color="k", size=20)

# Left Y-axis labels, combine math mode and text mode
ax.set_ylabel(r"\bf{phase field} $\phi$", color="C0", fontsize=20)
ax.set_yticks([0, 0.5, 1])
ax.set_yticklabels([r"\bf{0}", r"\bf{.5}", r"\bf{1}"], color="k", size=20)

# Right Y-axis labels
ax.text(1.02, 0.5, r"\bf{level set} $\phi$",
        color="C2", fontsize=20, rotation=90,
        horizontalalignment="left", verticalalignment="center",
        clip_on=False, transform=ax.transAxes)

# Use multiline environment inside a `text`.
# level set equations
eq1 = (r"\begin{eqnarray*}"
       r"|\nabla\phi| &=& 1,\\"
       r"\frac{\partial \phi}{\partial t} + U|\nabla \phi| &=& 0 "
       r"\end{eqnarray*}")
ax.text(1, 0.9, eq1, color="C2", fontsize=18,
        horizontalalignment="right", verticalalignment="top")

# phase field equations
eq2 = (r"\begin{eqnarray*}"
       r"\mathcal{F} &=& \int f\left( \phi, c \right) dV, \\ "
       r"\frac{ \partial \phi } { \partial t } &=& -M_{ \phi } "
       r"\frac{ \delta \mathcal{F} } { \delta \phi }"
       r"\end{eqnarray*}")
ax.text(0.18, 0.18, eq2, color="C0", fontsize=16)

ax.text(-1, .30, r"gamma: $\gamma$", color="r", fontsize=20)
ax.text(-1, .18, r"Omega: $\Omega$", color="b", fontsize=20)

plt.show()

another exemple:

plt3=plot(x^2, legend_label=r'\TeX\ is Number $\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^7'+
             r'\frac{-e^{i\pi}}{2^n}$!', fontsize=16, color='red')
show(plt3)
