A bit, and I couldn't quite get it to work. But what the heck, let's put it in the repository so we can all hack on it. It is quite an improvement to the backend, and it doesn't seem to break anything that used to work. (I ran the examples using backend_driver.py on both agg and pdf.) Your patch (slightly modified) is committed as of svn revision 3027. The problem I'm having is that if I set use14corefonts on, I have to make sure that Helvetica (or whatever) is chosen as the text font. I used to have the setting font.sans-serif : Bitstream Vera Sans because that font works, and some other fonts that mpl finds (on my OS X system) don't; but then setting use14corefonts on caused the afm header parser to be called on Vera.ttf, which it obviously couldn't make any sense of. I'm not sure I quite understand the Matplotlib font selection system, though. Replacing the setting by font.sans-serif : Helvetica, Bitstream Vera Sans helps, but it would be nice to put in some sanity checks so that we don't send the ttf file to the afm parser. On another note, the dpi setting was used for images. Removing it does make the code simpler, but then all images will be at a resolution of 72 dpi. Can you be more specific about the problems that the dpi setting was causing? Anyway, perhaps we should find a better interface for specifying image resolution for vectorial backends.
