If you need to support mathtext, the default font is the Computer Modern family, and you'll want all of the cm*.ttf fonts. Alternatively, you can change the default fonts in the matplotlibrc to ones that are included with Windows (e.g. Arial) -- but that won't address the mathtext issue. > MPL version: 0.91.2 on Windows (duh!) > > by the way, is there any way to dump that data into the exe itself, > rather than requiring it to be carried alongside? > > This makes me really appreciate application bundles on the Mac! > There are ways, but they're pretty involved -- plus they would require fixing the parts of matplotlib that read in data files: they all implicitly assume that they are real files on a real file system. See: http://www.py2exe.org/index.cgi/SingleFileExecutable I once worked on a commercial project that had a fairly complex network installer written in Python and distributed in a similar way.
