This is probably unrelated, but I can't even use serif fonts on the MacOSX backend (it just shows up as sans-serif). I tried Times New Roman, Vera, and a Computer Modern unicode font that I normally use). In contrast, serif fonts work fine with TkAgg and Qt4Agg on my system (OS X 10.6.4, system Python 2.6.1, matplotlib trunk). -Tony ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization is moving to the mainstream and overtaking non-virtualized environment for deploying applications.
