I reproduced this error message using a standard texlive LaTeX
installation. In fact, this installation provides only MF sources to
generate bitmap fonts (via METAFONT, if you want a keyword to learn
more about it). PyX handles only Type1 outline fonts (*.pfb files).
You can check whether the Type1 fonts are available in your
installation using the command

  kpsewhich mathab7.pfb

If it does not return a file path, you need to find and install the
fonts. A quick search showed that there seems to be such a version of
your fonts on the TeX archive:

  http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/ps-type1/mathabx

You will have to install them in your TeX tree and to update the map
files, as indicated in the README. More explanations about CTAN,
bitmap fonts and where to learn about font installation can be found
in the PyX FAQ.

Best,
  Michael
