Re: Sans-serif fonts in LaTeX labels for Jupyter widgets?

Good question. In theory, since we use MathJax for the rendering, this
would be possible on a local notebook server by modifying the MathJax
config in a custom.js file (see
http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/options/HTML-CSS.html?highlight=stix and
http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/font-support.html). You could set the
preferredFont to null, and use one of the web fonts, for example.

It looks like Davide (author of MathJax) has talked about using sans serif
fonts before:
https://github.com/mathjax/mathjax-docs/wiki/Can-MathJax-use-font-xxxx%3F.
He might have an updated answer if you ask on the MathJax mailing list.

Thanks,

Jason

The documentation on layout and styling of Jupyter widgets mentions that
Label widget can also render LaTeX equations:
http://ipywidgets.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/Widget%20Styling.html#Latex

On my machine, these equations render in a serif font by default. Is it
possible to change the default font set to use sans-serif fonts, similar to
matplotlib's?
     matplotlib.rcPararams['mathtext.fontset'] = 'stixsans'

Cheers,
Johann
