'Failing to use the GTK3Agg Matplotlib backend in Jupyter Notebook
I'm working with Jupyter Notebook (Python 3.9.7, Matplotlib 3.4.3, Anaconda 4.11.0). I'm trying to use the following Matplotlib custom configurations in a Jupyter Notebook:
backend : GTK3Agg
savefig.dpi : 300
savefig.format : pdf
figure.figsize : 4,4
xtick.top : True
ytick.right : True
xtick.minor.visible : True
ytick.minor.visible : True
ytick.direction : in
xtick.direction : in
xtick.major.size : 6 # default 3.5
ytick.major.size : 6 # default 3.5
xtick.minor.size : 3 # default 2
ytick.minor.size : 3 # default 2
xtick.major.width : 0.6 # default 0.8
ytick.major.width : 0.6 # default 0.8
xtick.minor.width : 0.6 # default 0.6
ytick.minor.width : 0.6 # default 0.6
axes.linewidth : 0.6 # default 0.8
lines.linewidth : 0.6 # default 1.5
lines.markeredgewidth : 0.3 # default 1
xtick.major.pad : 4 # default 3.5
ytick.major.pad : 4 # default 3.5
xtick.minor.pad : 4 # default 3.5
ytick.minor.pad : 4 # default 3.5
legend.frameon : False
legend.handletextpad : 0.5
text.usetex : True
text.latex.preamble : \usepackage{cmbright}
by adding a matplotlibrc file with such content to the directory I'm working in. But I always get the following error when I try to plot something with pyplot:
RuntimeError: latex was not able to process the following string:
b'lp'

A collegue seems to have the same libraries with the same versions and everything works fine for him. My understanding is that the error I get is related to the latex compiler with the GTK3Agg backend. Like my collegue, I've installed the cairo 1.16.0, latex 0.7.0. What am I doing wrong? I feel that something here is missing.
