When I use Arial Unicode MS within matplotlib, it cannot save to any
PostScript-based formats (pdf, eps, ps). Apparently, the font has no
glyph names:

I can reproduce this error with several fonts on my system.
(Coincidentally, all the fonts that have a full set of superscript
characters, which I could really use for my plots.) I know that these
fonts can be included in PDFs, because I can do it in other programs. I
also checked the archives and the bug list for clues as to what may be
going on, but came up empty. Any idea what the problem might be? Thanks!
