The main difference is file size. When ps.useafm is True, the fonts
don't have to be embedded because it uses fonts that are required to be
available with every Postscript interpreter. When it is False, the
fonts have to be included as part of the file, resulting in larger file
sizes.

Thanks, Mike.
I've been away from the Windows machine for a couple of days. I did
ps.useafm set and your suggestion solved the problem.
Is there a reason not to use TrueType in all of my figures (since it
wasn't enabled by default)?
Thanks,
Oscar.

You probably have "ps.useafm" set, right? Unfortunately, the stock
Postscript AFM fonts do not have a blackboard style. Setting ps.useafm
to False will use Truetype fonts, and it should work.
Cheers,
Mike

Hello,
I'm getting an error using latex mathbb and exporting to eps. The following
script demonstrates:
from pylab import figure, show
fig = figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(1, 1, 1)
ax.set_title(r'$\mathbb{R}$')
fig.savefig('mathbb.eps')
On Windows the above gives me a long traceback ending with:
