OK. Was it just that you don't want to require mpl users to install fonttools, or were there other problems with it? Does anyone here have experience with subsetting TrueType fonts (or Type 1 or OpenType, for that matter)? One pretty frequent complaint is that the eps files produced by matplotlib can be huge because they include the full font. Nowadays some popular fonts include characters for Greek, Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, and possibly even Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, so a font can be several megabytes large. -- Jouni ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
