You've got it now in svn. Be aware that mpl now requires numpy. That
doesn't mean you can't use Numeric and/or numarray arrays and packages,
or the matplotlib.numerix package, but it does mean you must have numpy
installed to build matplotlib from svn or any future release.
I think you will find the default line spacing is now better than it
was, regardless of font size. Default line spacing is 1.2 * H, where H
is the maximum vertical extent of normal text (bottom of descender to
top of ascender. This is about typical for normal typesetting, as far
as I can tell. The multiplier is accessible as a new kwarg
(linespacing) in commands that make Text objects. For example, if you
want wider spacing in your title you could use the pylab command
title('First Line\nSecond Line', linespacing=1.5)
