Yes, that works very well, thanks! However, it now embeds the entire font rather than a subset. This results in a PDF of 14.4 MB with this font. I ran it through ghostscript to get a PDF of 24.2 kB with subsetting, but I'm wondering if I can get subsetting of type 42 fonts directly from matplotlib?
