Switching to PDF works (eventually - see below) but bring with it yet another
set of problems.
First of all, I had to fix backend_pdf.py for MPL to work (w Python 2.3,
anyway).
Two problems:
a) 2.3 doesn't have the sorted function - it uses a .sort() function. So, I
had to change line 487 from:
chars=sorted(charmap.keys())
to:
chars = charmap.keys()
chars.sort()
b) No update() function (line 396)
So, instead of:
xobjects.update([(name, value[0]) for (name, value) in
self.markers.items()])
Had to do:
for (name, value) in self.markers.items():
xobjects[name]=value[0]
After that, I got my pdf file. However, if I print the PDF directly, works
fine but when I create an object link to the PDF and print from inside Word,
the printout is degraded (kind of fuzzy with texts).
So, for a temporary work around, I can use PDF instead of EPS and hopefully
that problem will get fixed someday.
