Description

When running videos (for example scene 2 from clt/main.py) normal text such as the number of e^c changing on the right side and the graph axes appear in regular font as opposed to the LaTeX Times New Roman-like font. I have MacTex installed and working but it still does not appear properly. It's kinda bugging me so if anyone else can figure it out that's a great help. Also I'm kinda new to Manim videos but have kinda got the hang of it. Thanks in advance

Research direction

Look at scene 2 in clt/main.py to see how text is rendered. Check the Manim configuration for LaTeX font settings and ensure MacTex is correctly integrated. Run the scene to reproduce the issue, then examine the text rendering code in the Manim library to see why normal text isn't using the LaTeX font.
