I don't see the character in the plot you sent. So at least that's
consistent. ;)
However, I still can't get things to break locally (on Linux, at least),
with all permutations of ps.fonttype, ps.useafm, ps.distiller, and
mathtext.fontset.
Can you send your entire matplotlibrc file? Perhaps there is some other
obscure setting that's interacting in a negative way.
