Hi all -- John H here under a different email I'm on vacation so I'll probably be out of touch for a week but just dashed into a cyber-cafe and couldn't resist jumping in. If mathtext_demo and TeX parse or layout that expression differently, it's a bug and should be fixed. We are trying to f

Thanks all for the tips, Darren, that's exactly what I had in mind - mathtext should copy the syntax of (La)TeX to a tollerable extent (without those dirty macros), so at least the high level TeX constructs behave the same. This should allow users to plot everyday plots easily with mathtext, and

Here are the reasons for rewriting mathtext2 that I can come up with: * One of the reasons I started the complete rewrite of the parser is that I'm a newbie at parsing, and I wanted to try it out a bit. I didn't understand why was it so difficult to parse TeX (or anything a little bit complicated

Hi all, Please John, take some time before SciPy conf to answer at least some of this questions, because the SoC deadline (21st August) is *very* near. 1) I'm having some problems regarding FT2Font. The problem is when I instantiate FT2Font like: font = FT2Font(filename) and when I call it's met
