I apologize for the missing information. I was using matplotlib 0.90.0
with python 2.4, and just upgraded to matplotlib 0.90.1 after reading
your message. Also, I'm doing this all on winXP.
Now, when I try to save a PDF (with the newer version of matplotlib), I
get the error:

I get the same error as in my original post when trying to save an EPS:

Here is the full report generated by ghostscript:

I guess I mean TeX-like mathtext format parsed by matplotlib. For
example, I'm using things like this:
rc('text', usetex=True)
Plotting.xlabel(r'\textbf{Time (s)}', fontsize=16)

I will look into this immediately.
Thank you,
