Which version of matplotlib are you using? The error message you quote
for the pdf backend shows a line 1085 in get_canvas_width_height, which
is impossible both in the latest released version 0.90.1 and in current
svn. I vaguely remember there being a bug like that quite some time ago.

In any case, no released version of matplotlib supports using TeX with
the pdf backend. Do you mean the (TeX-like) mathtext format parsed by
matplotlib? In current svn there is some support for TeX with the pdf
backend, but it has not (AFAIK) been tested on Windows.

Gmane mangles the URL (to protect email addresses) so I can't read the
message you cite, but using the XPDF distiller means setting
ps.usedistiller to xpdf in your matplotlibrc file. You will need to have
ps2pdf (from ghostscript) and pdftops (from xpdf or poppler) installed.
