Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this on my machine even with the latest
stable version of freetype-2.5.3 (which is the same version in Ubuntu
Gutsy). The Ubuntu/Debian package of freetype has a lot of patches
applied, and I don't know if they are causing this (but from the looks
of them, I doubt it).
Can you set debug.verbose to "annoying" and send me the output of your
matplotlib run? I want to rule out any font-loading problems.
Cheers,
Mike
