One thing you could *try*, to rule out any recent changes to the glyph rendering, is to comment out this line near the top of src/ft2font.cpp:
#define VERTICAL_HINTING as follows //#define VERTICAL_HINTINGAdditional information: Are there any warnings produced when compiling ft2font.cpp? Can you send me your matplotlibrc file?

Yep that can be a good idea. I don't know anything on how mathtext is working but I'm not completely sure that the problem is with freetype because sometime that can work. In reality every character I tested worked but you have to put in a certain order. To understand a little bit more what I try to say (very badly) see the script join and the figure. I hope that can help a little bit to try to find the reason of this behaviour.N Le Thursday 25 October 2007 15:41:40 Michael Droettboom, vous avez écrit :Darren Dale wrote:Hi Mike, On Tuesday 23 October 2007 09:05:56 am Michael Droettboom wrote: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).I think you mean freetype-2.3.5. I also have that version installed, although the mpl setup script is reporting 9.16.3.Yes. freetype-2.3.5. There are arcane historical reasons I don't fully comprehend why the pkgconfig version doesn't match the release version (and why freetype2 is called freetype6 on Debian and derivatives)... but my numbers do match yours.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.It's attached. I'm running 64bit gentoo, everything compiled with gcc-4.2.2, in case its relevent.Always good to have more details, but I'm sort of at a loss on this one, especially since I can't reproduce it. Maybe we need to take a poll on this list of who is working and who isn't to see what the source of the breakage may be...
