I suspect an explicit conversion to str may be required on your
configuration/platform. (I think you mentioned you were using Windows).
Can you change line 592 of mathtext.py to read:
font = FT2Font(str(basename))
and let me know if that fixes your problem? If so, I'll commit this to

Indeed I am.

This is going to be a tricky one, particularly since I don't have

There was a change between 0.90 to 0.91 as to how the TrueType to Type
42 (which is essentially a thin wrapper around a TrueType font)
conversion is done. In 0.90 it was done in Python -- in 0.91 when font
subsetting was added, this conversion is done in some borrowed C code
called ttconv.
There have been quite a few changes to fonts in MPL since 8.x.
Perhaps one of the biggest is mathtext. Real unicode fonts with
mathematics. Since you do what I do, sort of, I am guessing that you
might be happy with the same configuration I use. I looks great, and
can be edited in

I really like Arev Sans, but others like the new STIX fonts. This
setup is for Arev Sans. The important stuff is what begins with
mathtext. If you want serif fonts, this should be enough to get you
started on customizing. Just make sure whatever fontset you pick has
Ok... I'm running python 2.5 on winxp. I recently upgraded from
matplotlib 88ish to 91.1, and now the font embedding in eps files no
longer works for me: all fonts end up as paths when I open an eps file
in illustrator, and I can't do any font editing like I could before I
upgraded. I found
Setting ps.useafm = True while ps.fonttype = 42 allows illustrator to
open the eps files again and gives me back text editing capability, but
I don't have any control over the typeface anymore, it just defaults to
Helvetica.
