I had postscript problems on matplotlib 0.83.2 with the fonts. If my plot had text in it, the ps file wouldn't convert to pdf. It had an error.
Robert Kern on the matplotlib-users mailing list had a work around. That is use tex fonts. This worked for me. I installed the latest version of texshop http:// www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/ and then entered this command before plotting rc('text', usetex=True) and the resulting eps files converted to pdf just fine. _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
