Re: [matplotlib-devel] master macosx backend broken?
The crash occurs in the call to get_text_width_height_descent(self, s, prop,
ismath) due to the fact that
family = prop.get_family() previously returned a list of strings, while now it
returns a list of unicode strings. The backend then fails to find the font, and
crashes over a NULL pointer. I will add a check for a NULL pointer and raise a
Python exception appropriately, and also modify the backend to allow for
unicode strings.
Note that other backends may also trip over this).
Best,
-Michiel.

Try this. It at least gets simple_plot.py running again on the OS-X backend.

Building from master produces a broken build of matplotlib for me.
After the build finishes, I get this warning from the linker: ld: warning:

built for unsupported file format ( 0xcf 0xfa 0xed 0xfe 0x 7 0x 0 0x 0

architecture being linked (i386): /opt/local/lib/libfreetype.dylib I don't know
why it's compiling with -arch i386. It's also compiling
with -arch x86_64. When I install matplotlib, this is what happens from an
ipython terminal: In [1]: import matplotlib

herehttps://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/commit/f4adec7b569cfd0b30e0f8367ba8618b9e160f92.
That's a pretty big commit so it'll take a while to track down. I'm kind of
swamped with work right now (a colleague I work with
recently resigned) so I don't have as much time as I'd like to
dedicate to helping out. Eric, I hope that helps a little bit. Best wishes,

Oh, and I get the linker warning both with last good commit, *and* the
first bad commit. Just as another data point.
