I have a Mac python application I bundle with py2app. It has successfully included matplotlib for several years. However recently I added strip charts to it and now I find that the Mac bundle is broken: when I run on a system that does not have matplotlib installed it dies with a traceback that ends with:

Does anyone have any ideas how to convince matplotlib to look for the font in the right place? -- Russell P.S. my configuration (though I've tried several others): - Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.4 - python 2.6.6 (from python.org) - matplotlib 1.0.0 (via the binary installer) - py2app 0.5.2 - setuptools 0.6c11 _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/Pythonmac-SIG
