Russell and Eric, many thanks for sticking with me on this issue. I've been able to reproduce the problem just by calling gc.collect() without loading Matplotlib, so it looks like the problem is elsewhere. I'm very sorry I didn't realize this sooner. Cheers, Anand

Okay, I uploaded another set of plots. Please take a look at them again. I hope it's clear this time. I must reiterate that the *only* thing I did different between the 2 was to do a screen maximize before saving - and the fonts, lines, spacing all came out correct. I did not change font or

Hi, I would like to add another annoying aspect of the "digits in the GUI": When a log axis is used the displayed numbers looks like 10^-8.23 which is definitely not human readable. Do somebody know a quick fix to obtain something like 5.89e-9 or 5.89x10^-9 ? Thanks, David

Okay, I tried saving using the postscript format, and I end up with the "ugly" plot also. In fact, if I maximize the plot and then save as .ps file, I get ugly plot as well. So, saving it in PS made no difference - that part is correct but it means I end up with the same font, and dimension
