How to get same font in matplotlib plot as latex?

Question

I want the font in my python plot to be consistent with the latex. I found another answer . But it doesn't work on my computer and the error is

KeyError: 'text.latex.unicode is not a valid rc parameter (see rcParams.keys() for a list of valid parameters)'

Can anyone provide me a method that can be used for current version of python?

Try this:

import matplotlib 

font = {'family' : 'serif',
         'size'   : 12,
         'serif':  'cmr10'
         }

matplotlib.rc('font', **font)
