I had the same problem when I upgraded from python 2.6 to 2.7. For me, the issue turned out to be with my matplotlib font cache, which was stored in my matplotlib config directory. On linux it is in .matplotlib directory in the home directory, I am not sure if this is where it is on a mac. I deleted the fontList.cache file and the tex.cache directory stored there, and that fixed the problem. I am not sure you need to delete both of these, but since they were just caches I went ahead and did so. -Todd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer-- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE (a $49 USD value)!
