Awesome! glad we finally got to the bottom of it. For the record - in
case others start seeing this error: "Found an unknown keyword in AFM
header (was Underline)", when the afm file in question splits up the
UnderlinePosition to be two words with a space between them, here's
the patch to fix that problem.
diff --git a/lib/matplotlib/afm.py b/lib/matplotlib/afm.py
index bb51634..127e63d 100644
--- a/lib/matplotlib/afm.py
+++ b/lib/matplotlib/afm.py
@@ -132,6 +132,7 @@ def _parse_header(fh):
line = fh.readline()
if not line: break
line = line.rstrip()
+ line = line.replace("Underline ", "Underline")
if line.startswith('Comment'): continue
lst = line.split( ' ', 1 )
#print '%-s\t%-d line :: %-s' % ( fh.name, len(lst), line )
I won't commit this to trunk, because it doesn't seem like anyone else
has run into this before - so maybe there are very few afm files out
there using this *incorrect*, as far as I can ascertain, version of
the AFM headers
best,
