This must be dominated by some weird outliers. I'm seeing great results with the canonical "simple_plot" [EMAIL PROTECTED]:examples> python simple_plot.py -dPS [EMAIL PROTECTED]:examples> mv simple_plot.ps new.ps [EMAIL PROTECTED]:examples> PYTHONPATH=/my/old/site-packages python simple_plot.py -dPS [EMAIL PROTECTED]:examples> mv simple_plot.ps old.ps [EMAIL PROTECTED]:examples> ls -l old.ps new.ps -rw-r--r-- 1 johnh research 19352 Jul 10 12:11 new.ps -rw-r--r-- 1 johnh research 144227 Jul 10 12:11 old.ps Though for some reason my 90.1 install is picking up Vera Serif and my svn install is picking up Vera Sans., which is mysterious but unrelated to your work In any case, excellent work!
