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

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 posted the ugly vs pretty plots at: http://new.photos.yahoo.com/kimwaic106/album I stripped out most of the titles and subtitles but I think you can still see the difference between the two. (Don't worry about the middle unintelligble part). Regards, -- John Henry - Original

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
