Hello, first let me thank you for your excellent software - I think it is just wonderful and very pleasant to use.
Two small things came up when I installed 0.91.1 into my home directory (I didn't want to mess with the debian packages since they are usually very fast in updating them) This passage in the INSTALL file is misleading: Note that if you install matplotlib anywhere other than the default location, you will need to set the MATPLOTLIBDATA environment variable to point to the install base dir. Instead of setting MATPLOTLIBDATA to the base dir I specified with setup.py install --prefix /home/mo/mpl I had to set it to /home/mo/mpl/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/ for mathtext to find its fonts. Secondly this passage in matplotlib/mathtext.py 544 if cached_font is None: 545 try: 546 font = FT2Font(basename) 547 except RuntimeError: 548 return None Where an unfound font file is not reported but rather a None font object is returned just causes a Null pointer exception to be raised very shortly afterwards without the important info as to the real reason. Maybe the RunTimeError should just be raised as is or handled in a more informative manner? Thanks again and sorry for my nitpicking, Mario Oschwald ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: The Future of Linux Business White Paper from Novell.
