I think this is what was meant by Ken via Carlo regarding matplotlib being a 'moving target'. Lately, I've run into frequent errors depending on the backend I choose. To fix the libpangocairo error, edit the /usr/share/matplotlib/matplotlibrc and change the backend. Currently WXagg works for me, but GTKAgg results in the error you mentioned. Note: I think I was using WXAgg up until a few weeks ago and had to switch to GTKAgg because something else was broken. Such is life. I still have to comment that I've been very happy with matplotlib and I'm using it to generate *.eps figures for a journal article. Hope that helps, JDR
