So it also occurs with PyX 0.10?

Hmm, on the dvifile and vffile side, everything looks fine: The ptm8r
font is selected for the actual output and the same character as the one
given by dvitype is used.

Maybe the encoding is the problem, but right now I don't see how this
could happen. Maybe André sees more...

Unfortunately, I can only check the PDF output - my psfonts.map file
does not work properly. 

Ciao,
