Re: [matplotlib-devel] Fontcache problem on windows

Interesting. Perhaps anything that throws an exception in the FT2Font constructor (which a bad font or a missing font would both do), is throwing off the reference count for the object and failing that assertion, rather than passing the exception back to Python. Only a theory. What version of

Thanks. Unfortunately, I'm not able to reproduce any problems with the font on Linux (see attached). I suspect the problem may be Windows-specific, but I have no way of knowing at the moment. I'll have to try this at home (no Windows at work), or maybe one of the other Windows gurus on this

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Fontcache problem on windows

Is the font freely available, and if so, can you provide a link? I'd like to find a workaround if possible -- one shouldn't have to remove fonts just to run matplotlib. Cheers, Mike Jörgen Stenarson wrote: > Michael Droettboom skrev: >> I haven't seen this issue. It may just be a dirty compil

Re: [matplotlib-devel] Fontcache problem on windows

I haven't seen this issue. It may just be a dirty compilation problem. Often distutils doesn't rebuild enough. Try removing the build directory and then build/install. If that's not the case, we'll need to track down which font is tripping it up. Set "verbose.level" to "debug-annoying" and

[matplotlib-devel] Fontcache problem on windows
