I just tried running epstopdf, and this does work correctly, so maybe now the
only issue is that Preview.app on mac always uses pstopdf, even for eps files?
(which then is not a matplotlib issue) I also checked that giving the file the
extension '.ps' produces a ps file, and that does open correctly in Preview.app.
Cheers,
Tom
