I suggest completely wiping your .matplotlib directory (saving only
your matplotlibrc if you have customized it). matplotlib caches a
fair amount of font and latex rendering stuff. I had a similar
problem on an upgrade with mathtext. We are not sure why it is
happening yet, but it will probably go away if you rm -rf
~/.matplotlib. Also, wipe your site-packages/matplotlib dir before
installing. See
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/installing_faq.html#cleanly-rebuild-and-reinstall-everything
To get more verbose information about what mpl is doing behind the
scense, run with
> python myscript.py --verbose-debug
You can use --verbose-helpful for less output.
I think it might be a good idea for us to start using a versioned dir
structure for the cached data...
