I agree: the PDF backend is almost usable! I've just some issues with: - text alignment (I fixed it on my working copy of matplotlib); - accentuated characters (nearly fixed); - embedding of TTF fonts in the PDF (in progress - we need to limit the /Widths array to the 256 characters used in WinAnsiEncoding). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
