First to correct some confusion (and a good candidate to add to the new docs that everyone is working so hard on...): mathtext and usetex are completely independent systems, and you can only use either one of the other. Therefore, if usetex is True, none of the mathtext settings will have

If you rename matplotlib-0.98.0-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg to matplotlib-0.98.0-py2.5.egg, easy_install will install it from the disk. I'm not sure why this happens. I've noticed lots of Mac OS X eggs with cruft at the end of the filename, which prevents their installation through easy_install.
