This will silence things, and I agree it probably should be the default 
on Linux, but I'm not sure if it's correct.  If F18 really does have 
STIX 1.1, then it's not going to work since the layout of the fonts has 
changed so much.  That's going to require a great deal of effort.  Can 
you successfully run the test suite with this change?  That should catch 
any glyph mismatch problems.  Is there a way to have the package depend 
on 1.0 version of the fonts until matplotlib has a chance to update its 
tables?
