Hi Darren,
Hmm, that didn't do it. Simple plots (like simple_plot.py) work with no
distiller step, so it must be something about my more complex plot.
Unfortunately, it's a rather complex menagerie of code that produces the
plot so I'm afraid that if I want to narrow this down, it'll be rather
painful and slow going. I might just stick with the
MPL->EPS->Distiller->PDF->Illustrator toolchain, which seems to work for
the moment.
