Hi Jouni, Wow, that worked a treat. Thank you very much! Maybe you should post that to the -devel mailing list, too!
On the computer that this bug didn't occur, the ~/Library/Fonts directory is completely empty! I wonder where it is looking for lcmssi8.afm if it isn't in ~/Library/Fonts Yeah I didn't want to play around with the installed files Macports creates, so I installed matplotlib from svn and, also since I don't know how to apply a patch, I just edited the afm.py to make your changes. This worked fine, and I no longer get the error! Also, as I now have produced a graph (just a sin wave) as a test, the ~/.matplotlib directory contains some files (fontList.cache and tex.cache). It seems as though these files are created to aid in the speed of producing plots in the future by saving previously produced text output. Thank you very much, Jouni!
