Mike,
I'm not sure that I know which font file is the problem. Here's the output
from trying to run my application on python-2.5 (the top two lines are
repeated many times before we get to the traceback):
Found an unknown keyword in AFM header (was Underline)

If it's relevant to the issue, I no longer have ~/.matplotlib/fonts.cache as
someone
suggested yesterday that I delete it, and it's not been regenerated.
Thanks,
Rich
