Yes. matplotlib can not read the otf format fonts that are generally shipped as part of the STIX font packages. You need the ones that come with matplotlib. Mike On 12/31/2013 11:59 AM, Neal Becker wrote: > If I rely on the system version of matplotlib > > python-matplotlib-1.3.0-1.fc20.x86_6

The STIX fonts are provided as OpenType wrappers around Adobe Compact Font Format (CFF or Type 2) fonts (sometimes called OpenType CFF or 'OTTO' font, because of the header tag on these files). With the Agg backend, this isn't a problem, since freetype supports these fonts transparently. Howe

The STIX fonts are now passing the mathtext_examples.py unit test. This font blends much better with fonts like Times. The rcParam "mathtext.use_cm" (which is new since the last release) has been replaced with "mathtext.fontset" which takes either "cm", "stix" or "custom". To use the STIX fon

This is maybe another push in the direction of using fontconfig (which claims to support otf fonts already). I'd really prefer to go in that direction rather than continue to tack on partial reimplementations of it in font_manager.py -- but it does complicate dependencies on non-X11 platforms).
