I tried the following, with the latest svn checkout and usetex=True:
plot([1,2])
savefig('test.pdf')
and I get an error, the tail end is:
/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_pdf.py in
writeFonts(self)
468 elif filename.endswith('.pfb') or
filename.endswith('.pfa'):
469 # a Type 1 font; limited support for now
--> 470 fontdictObject = self.embedType1(filename,
self.fontInfo[Fx])
471 else:
472 realpath, stat_key = get_realpath_and_stat(filename)
/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_pdf.py in
embedType1(self, filename, fontinfo)
501 fh.close()
502
--> 503 fh = open(fontinfo.afmfile, 'rb')
504 matplotlib.verbose.report(
505 'Reading metrics from ' + fontinfo.afmfile, 'debug')
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''
