Jens,
thanks for the help. I found I had matplotlib-py2*_0.80-1 still
installed on my PB, though the .debs were gone
(did not expect that "fink cleanup" would remove the .deb of a package
that is currently installed, and I don't
think it should!). Anyway, I managed to save that installation to a tar
ball and rebuild the .debs from that.
I have the same problem, and the maintainer told me off-list that he
also doesn't know why the X11 freetype libraries are being picked up.
I think he won't be able to get around to working on this for a while,
so I also tried reverting to the old verison you mentioned (except I
used py23). But that leads to the following problem when I start
pylab:

>>> import pylab

line 271, in ttfFontProperty
sfnt = font.get_sfnt()
RuntimeError: No SFNT name table
So it's failing in the font manager where freetype probably is
supposed to do its work... I didn't have time to investigate this
further. My system is also 10.3.9, and I have freetype219 and shlibs
installed. If you want the old deb file to try your luck, I can give
you a download location for matplotlib-py23_0.80-1...
Hmm, I don't see any of those problems now I've reinstalled my old
versions... Otherwise we seem to have nearly identical setups:

Works with both python and ipython -pylab 2.3 and 2.4. So if you'd like
to give my packages a try, I'd be happy to make them available for
download :-)
Cheers,
Derek
