It appears to be finding "wadalab-gothic" as the font, which is a Japanese font. Now, *why* it is doing that is the million dollar question.
It should (by default) by loading the Bitstream Vera Sans font (Vera.ttf) from /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf. I would verify that it is there and readable by the "user" that the CGI script runs under. You can try refreshing the font-finding cache by removing the file ~/.matplotlib/fontManager.cache. If that doesn't provide any clues, can you send me the fontManager.cache (probably best off-list), and I'll see what fonts it *is* finding, again hopefully providing more clues. One other thing to note about the output: it is loading the matplotlibrc from /home/www/www/cgi-bin/, (since it is present), and not from /home/private/mpl/.matplotlib/. Perhaps there is something incorrect in that matplotlibrc file. Cheers, Mike Tim Lewis wrote: >> Can you set "verbose.level" to "debug-annoying" in your matplotlibrc and >> send us the output?
