I thought I recalled that someone found a glitch in the mpl EPS Prolog, which when fixed removed the problem. Perhaps this is not in 0.9.1? Let's see: OK, I guess what I had in mind was the message below, which is not related... The problem seems to be the construction of dates by repeated use of ``glyphshow``. Apparenly the MS interpreter does not support ``glyphshow``??? By the way, this usage is apparently seeking a compressed rendering: is that right? Wouldn't using ``xshow`` be more efficient, not to mention more obvious to humans?

I believe that matplotlib is incorrectly creating the EPS file. According to the DSC Spec (http://partners.adobe.com/ public/developer/en/ps/5001.DSC_Spec.pdf), the Prolog section should only contain procset definitions (which should also be enclosed in %% BeginResource / %%EndResource pairs). It looks like the generated EPS files contain an ordinary dictionary definition as well as font information in the Prolog. I believe these commands should more properly be moved to the Script section of the document (perhaps within the %%BeginSetup/%%EndSetup sub-section). I manually edited an EPS file to make the prolog empty, and moved the mpldict definition to the body of the file, and it then worked fine with MS Word.
