After some more digging, I think I finally found the source of my issues. I
have noticed that there are inconsistencies between the keys and sections
listed in the default matplotlib.conf file and in the class MPLConfig().
While in most cases, these inconsistencies are innocuous and do not cause
errors, I think there have been a few inadvertent mistakes.
So, I modified one of the programs to produce a list of all the
inconstancies that exist, and I will let you guys figure out what needs to
be fixed, or what is intentional.
For example, the first item in thee file states that the MPLConfig class do
not have the keys "numerix" and "maskedarray", but the default configuration
file does. In addition, the MPLConfig class has the key datapath, but that
is not given in the default conf file. (I do recognize that this should
probably be expected in this case, I am merely explaining how to interpret
the attached file).
The next paragraph states that MPLConfig class defines a section "path", but
it is not found in the default configuration file.
The other lines that I find interesting:
15 ('preview' is given in the conf file, but not in the class)
31-32 ('embed_chars' is in the default file, but the config class has
'embed_char_paths')
35-36 (many keys between the class and the file are similar, but not the
same)
The other paragraphs might be interesting, but I hardly know enough to make
such determinations.
