Updated test case with that patch: http://pcpa.fedorapeople.org/matplotlib-2.7+pull-1666.txt > However, I thought I'd investigate the issue with the STIX fonts -- I > actually just upgraded to F18 yesterday, so I thought I'd try what you > suggest and get matplotlib to use them. > > Thanks for taking on packaging for matplotlib, and thanks for understanding > the importance of running the test suite. > > It seems that the stix fonts packages in Fedora only come in .otf format -- > I believe this is how they are shipped upstream as well. Unfortunately, > matplotlib has no support for reading .otf files, so these are simply > unusable to matplotlib. > > There are some options: > > 1) Include the STIX ttf fonts included with matplotlib in the matplotlib > package and install them in `matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf` (as a vanilla > install would do) so as not to conflict with the stix-fonts package.

I did: $ sudo mkdir /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf $ sudo cp -a matplotlib-1.2.0/lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf/*STIX* /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/fontsSave: No changes need to be saved, save again to override -- nothing saved. $ ls /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf/ LICENSE_STIX STIXNonUniBol.ttf STIXSizOneSymBol.ttf STIXGeneralBolIta.ttf STIXNonUniIta.ttf STIXSizOneSymReg.ttf STIXGeneralBol.ttf STIXNonUni.ttf STIXSizThreeSymBol.ttf STIXGeneralItalic.ttf STIXSizFiveSymReg.ttf STIXSizThreeSymReg.ttf STIXGeneral.ttf STIXSizFourSymBol.ttf STIXSizTwoSymBol.ttf STIXNonUniBolIta.ttf STIXSizFourSymReg.ttf STIXSizTwoSymReg.ttf This should require asking permission for bundling, but not duplicating as ttf stix font are not installed. Before asking for it, you may want to look at the test results: http://pcpa.fedorapeople.org/matplotlib-2.7-mpl-data-with-bundled-stix-ttf.txt Because I did not see any difference on the results, so I probably missed some step... > 2) Include a version of the STIX fonts converted to ttf. This will still > have the problem that the glyph tables in matplotlib need to be updated to > use them. > > 3) Update matplotlib's freetype wrapper to support .otf fonts. Doable, but > considerable work. > > 4) Leave it as is but warn that STIX font support is broken with the Fedora > matplotlib package. > > Mike I actually did submit an update https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-matplotlib-1.2.0-7.fc18 before you posted about https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/1666 So would prefer a more complete review before overriding it. The update should be in queue for a week before going to mirrors, so it can be revoked and a better update submitted.
