I think I'm using MPL .99.1 (is there a command to check?) on Windows XP. Thanks for the debug tip, I don't think posting the whole thing is necessary because this line seems to be the problem:

Returning C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\fonts\ttf\Vera.ttf So I guess the font's missing from the folder. Can I add it somehow?
