Thanks; on first look this seems really nice! So far I have one request to you and one to John: Nicolas: would it be easy for you to strip the ^M (carriage-return) characters from your files and then re-run diff? I see in your patch several parts where the only change seems to be an addition of ^M at the end of each line, but there could be significant changes hidden within these parts. (Perhaps just give the -b option to diff? Though that might backfire if some other whitespace changes are significant, e.g. if you have changed the indentation of some code blocks.) John: Is Adobe's licensing of the AFM files compatible with matplotlib's license? I think it is, but I'm no license expert. The readme file distributed with the files contains the following text: Font Metrics for the 14 PDF Core Fonts ====================================== This directory contains font metrics for the 14 PDF Core Fonts (files with .afm extension), downloaded from http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/font/index.html. This file and the 14 PostScript(R) AFM files it accompanies may be used, copied, and distributed for any purpose and without charge, with or without modification, provided that all copyright notices are retained; that the AFM files are not distributed without this file; that all modifications to this file or any of the AFM files are prominently noted in the modified file(s); and that this paragraph is not modified. Adobe Systems has no responsibility or obligation to support the use of the AFM files. -- Jouni K.
