We've noticed this on tiger several times. Some default system fault
is causing troubles though we haven't identified which one. The
recommended fix it to put the Vera fonts (which matplotlib ships with)
first in your rc file (http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlibrc) and
remove your ~/.matplotlib/ttf.cache before rerunning
Ie, you fonts section of ex should look something like this:
font.serif : Bitstream Vera Serif, New Century Schoolbook, Century
Schoolbook L, Utopia, ITC Bookman, Bookman, Nimbus Roman No9 L, Times New
Roman, Times, Palatino, Charter, serif
font.sans-serif : Bitstream Vera Sans, Lucida Grande, Verdana, Geneva,
Lucid, Arial, Helvetica, Avant Garde, sans-serif
font.cursive : Apple Chancery, Textile, Zapf Chancery, Sand, cursive
font.fantasy : Comic Sans MS, Chicago, Charcoal, Impact, Western,
fantasy
font.monospace : Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Andale Mono, Nimbus Mono L,
Courier New, Courier, Fixed, Terminal, monospace
In future releases of mpl, this will be the default.
