Hello,

I am getting this runtime error for some of my plotting scripts ever since I
did a clean build and install of matplotlib from the svn repo:

[snip]
File "/home/bvr/Programs/matplotlib/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/text.py", line
524, in draw
    bbox, info = self._get_layout(renderer)
  File "/home/bvr/Programs/matplotlib/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/text.py",
line 298, in _get_layout
    ismath=False)
  File
"/home/bvr/Programs/matplotlib/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_gdk.py",
line 309, in get_text_width_height_descent
    layout, inkRect, logicalRect = self._get_pango_layout(s, prop)
  File
"/home/bvr/Programs/matplotlib/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/backends/backend_gdk.py",
line 283, in _get_pango_layout
    font_str = '%s, %s %i' % (prop.get_name(), prop.get_style(), size,)
  File
"/home/bvr/Programs/matplotlib/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/font_manager.py",
line 742, in get_name
    return ft2font.FT2Font(str(findfont(self))).family_name
RuntimeError: Could not open facefile
/home/bvr/Programs/matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf/Vera.ttf;
Cannot_Open_Resource

The file exists, and is certainly read-able.  The program "Fonty Python"
even checked and said that the fonts in that folder were valid, and
displayed samples. Looking back at discussion threads before, this error has
come up before back in 2007:

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Ben Root
