I am still seeing the error below in matplotlib-1.1.0 - the bug occurs when the user installs our software to the directory "version1", uses that installation, then installs "version2" and removes "version1", which breaks matplotlib because (unlike any other Python module I've ever used) the absolute font paths are hardwired into the user's local configuration. I was told nearly a year ago that this was already fixed in SVN, but clearly this is not the case. Is there a workaround for this other than emailing every user who complains and telling him/her to rm -rf ~/.matplotlib?
