Tha's cool, I saw what you wrote. First off, I wasn't sure what you meant by "hardcopy", so I thought I'd let you know that matplotlib has PS output. Second, the page I linked to talks about all the font-type features of matplotlib, which I thought might interest you. Having not gotten funky with them, I cannot vouch for their quality.
