What version of Freetype do you have - does updating it help? The check
for glyph names is just a call to a Freetype macro:
if (!FT_HAS_GLYPH_NAMES(face))
throw Py::RuntimeError("Face has no glyph names");
Does it help if you set ps.fonttype and pdf.fonttype to 42 in
matplotlibrc? If not, could you send me (off-list) a sample of a PDF
file produced by another program using the font, preferably one that
displays the exact same string that causes this problem with matplotlib?
