This was a bug where tkagg was switching backends to svg, but not
trapping the error and resetting the backend on failure. so you were
stuck in svg mode. Now we catch the error, switch the backend back to
tkagg, and then reraise.
Fortunately, I had easy access to a platform where mathtext was
installed to test and debug on :-)

It looks like this is a problem across many backends, and is best handled in backend_agg itself. I just made a few changes to agg, tkagg, wxagg and gtkagg to fix this. If anyone encounters weirdness, let me know. JDH - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML. No limits.
