I can't get import pylab to work. My matplotlabrc file and some ipython output is attached. The font manager seems to fail. Any suggestions?
### MATPLOTLIBRC FORMAT # This is a sample matplotlib configuration file. It should be placed # in HOME/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc (unix/linux like systems) and # C:\Documents and Settings\yourname\.matplotlib (win32 systems) # # By default, the installer will overwrite the existing file in the # install path, so if you want to preserve your's, please move it to # your HOME dir and set the environment variable if necessary. # # This file is best viewed in a editor which supports python mode # syntax highlighting # # Blank lines, or lines starting with a comment symbol, are ignored, # as are trailing comments. Other lines must have the format # # key : val # optional comment # # Colors: for the color values below, you can either use # - a matplotlib color string, such as r, k, or b # - an rgb tuple, such as (1.0, 0.5, 0.0) # - a hex string, such as ff00ff (no '#' symbol) # - a scalar grayscale intensity such as 0.75 # - a legal html color name, eg red, blue, darkslategray #### CONFIGURATION BEGINS HERE # the default backend; one of GTK GTKAgg GTKCairo FltkAgg QtAgg TkAgg # Agg Cairo GD GDK Paint PS SVG Template backend : GTKAgg numerix : numpy # numpy, Numeric or numarray interactive : False # see http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/interactive.html toolbar : toolbar2 # None | classic | toolbar2 timezone : UTC # a pytz timezone string, eg US/Central or Europe/Paris # Where your matplotlib data lives if you installed to a non-default # location.

See # http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.font_manager.html for more # information on font properties. The 6 font properties used for font # matching are given below with their default values. # # The font.family property has five values: 'serif' (e.g. Times), # 'sans-serif' (e.g. Helvetica), 'cursive' (e.g. Zapf-Chancery), # 'fantasy' (e.g. Western), and 'monospace' (e.g. Courier). Each of # these font families has a default list of font names in decreasing # order of priority associated with them. # # The font.style property has three values: normal (or roman), italic # or oblique. The oblique style will be used for italic, if it is not # present. # # The font.variant property has two values: normal or small-caps. For # TrueType fonts, which are scalable fonts, small-caps is equivalent # to using a font size of 'smaller', or about 83% of the current font # size. # # The font.weight property has effectively 13 values: normal, bold, # bolder, lighter, 100, 200, 300, ..., 900. Normal is the same as # 400, and bold is 700. bolder and lighter are relative values with # respect to the current weight. # # The font.stretch property has 11 values: ultra-condensed, # extra-condensed, condensed, semi-condensed, normal, semi-expanded, # expanded, extra-expanded, ultra-expanded, wider, and narrower. This # property is not currently implemented. # # The font.size property is the default font size for text, given in pts. # 12pt is the standard value. # font.family : sans-serif font.style : normal font.variant : normal font.weight : medium font.stretch : normal # note that font.size controls default text sizes. To configure # special text sizes tick labels, axes, labels, title, etc, see the rc # settings for axes and ticks. Special text sizes can be defined # relative to font.size, using the following values: xx-small, x-small, # small, medium, large, x-large, xx-large, larger, or smaller font.size : 12.0 font.serif : New Century Schoolbook, Century Schoolbook L, Utopia, ITC Bookman, Bookman, Bitstream Vera Serif, Nimbus Roman No9 L, Times New Roman, Times, Palatino, Charter, serif font.sans-serif : Lucida Grande, Verdana, Geneva, Lucida, Bitstream Vera Sans, Arial, Helvetica, Avant Garde, sans-serif font.cursive : Apple Chancery, Textile, Zapf Chancery, Sand, cursive font.fantasy : Comic Sans MS, Chicago, Charcoal, Impact, Western, fantasy font.monospace : Andale Mono, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Nimbus Mono L, Courier New, Courier, Fixed, Terminal, monospace ### TEXT # text properties used by text.Text.
