It's something in your setup: try reinstall python-matplotlib > and/or upgrade to the sid version of it (1.1.0). Hello, Sandro, Unfortunately the problem had been solved. Analysis showed the matplotlib didn't like a font installed into ~/.fonts (actually not the font itself but its description in ~/.fonts/font.map and fonts.dir). For now I don't need that font. After removing it everything had been worked. However, it is not good for library to crash if some third-party data is malformed in its opinion, especially when all other programs dealing with the fonts work fine.
