Hi Phil,
Next time I'll be more explicit. I added the question to SA after I
tried to get a public link to my message and saw that archives past
July of this year seem to be missing. It wasn't clear that this list
was even still alive:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=matplotlib-users
Any idea why the archives seem to have stopped?
Thanks for pointing that out. I'm not sure what's wrong, but I'll look
into it.
Mike
Thanks,
Brandon

Hi Brandon,
I notice that this is cross-posted on StackOverflow
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13132194/type-1-fonts-with-log-graphs).
Personally, I have no problem with cross posting, but to save two
people having to answer the same question, I would make sure it
was explicit that this had also been posted elsewhere.
Thanks,
Phil

Hi,
I'm trying to use Matplotlib graphs as part of a camera-ready
submission, and the publishing house requires the use of Type
1 fonts
only.
I'm finding that the PDF backend happily outputs Type-1 fonts for
simple graphs with linear Y axes, but outputs Type-3 fonts for
logarithmic Y axes.
Using a logarithmic yscale incurs the use of mathtext, which
seems to
use Type 3 fonts, presumably because of the default use of
exponential
notation. I can use an ugly hack to get around this - using
pyplot.yticks() to force the axis ticks to not use exponents - but
this would require moving the plot region to accommodate large
labels
(like 10 ^ 6) or writing the axes as 10, 100, 1K, etc. so they
fit.
There's a minimum working example below, which I've tested
with the
matplotlib master branch as of today, as well as 1.1.1, which
produces
the same behavior, so I don't know that this is a bug,
probably just
unexpected behavior.
#!/usr/bin/env python
# Simple program to test for type 1 fonts.
# Generate a line graph w/linear and log Y axes.
from matplotlib import rc, rcParams
#rc('font',**{'family':'sans-serif','sans-serif':['Helvetica']})
# These lines are needed to get type-1 results:

rcParams['ps.useafm'] = True
rcParams['pdf.use14corefonts'] = True
rcParams['text.usetex'] = False
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
YSCALES = ['linear', 'log']
def plot(filename, yscale):
plt.figure(1)
xvals = range(1, 2)
yvals = xvals
plt.plot(xvals, yvals)
plt.yscale(yscale)
#YTICKS = [1, 10]
#plt.yticks(YTICKS, YTICKS) # locs, labels
ax = plt.gca()
#print ax.get_xticklabels()[0].get_text()
print ",".join([a.get_label() for a in ax.get_yticklabels()])
plt.savefig(filename + '.pdf')
if __name__ == '__main__':
for yscale in YSCALES:
plot('linegraph-' + yscale, yscale)
Does anyone know a clean way to get Type 1 fonts with log axes?
Thanks,
Brandon
