Just got around to trying it, and every comparison failed because it was selecting a different font than that used in the baseline images. (My matplotlibrc customizes the fonts).
It seems we should probably force "font.family" to "Bitstream Vera Sans" when running the tests. Adding "rcParam['font.family'] = 'Bitstream Vera Sans'" to the "test" function seems to do the trick, but I'll let Andrew make the final call about whether that's the right change. Perhaps we should (as with the documentation build) provide a stock matplotlibrc specifically for testing, since there will be other things like this? Of course, all of these options cause matplotlib.test() to have rcParam side-effects. Probably not worth addressing now, but perhaps worth noting.
I am also still getting 6 image comparison failures due to hinting differences (I've attached one of the diffs as an example). Since I haven't been following closely, what's the status on that? Should we be seeing these as failures? What type of hinting are the baseline images produced with?
