Latex mu not being affected by rcParams

[Alessandro-Zunino]

Can you change the definition of the symbol of greek mu (as in the micrometer) such that it uses the font defined in the script in which matplotlib-scalebar is being imported? Using the \mathregular command should be enough. e.g. mu = '\mathregular{ \mu }'

Could you explain what is the difference between \\mathrm{{\\mu}}m$ and $\\mathregular{{\\mu}}m$?

[Alessandro-Zunino]

The \mathregular command forces the symbol to be printed using the same font of the rest of the figure (see: https://matplotlib.org/stable/users/explain/text/mathtext.html). This is advantageous, because the symbol can then be interpreted as text instead of an image by vector graphics editors (such as Inkscape, Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, etc.).

Thank you very much for the explanation. I will make the change to use \\mathregular.
