[Matplotlib-users] Postscript printing problem with mathrm

[Philip A. <pa...@eo...>]

The following script:
_________________________
from pylab import *
fig1=figure(1)
plot([0,1],[0,1])
xlabel(r'$c_p \overline{w^\prime\,\theta_v^\prime}\ \mathrm{(W\,m^{-2})$')
#xlabel(r'$c_p \overline{w^\prime\,\theta_v^\prime}$')
savefig('bug.ps')
_________________________

fails for me with the popup message:

"Failed to save
Error message: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 
'aa457a9c63ca3a79b3754ed98a30c2ba.ps'"

(although the figure window is plotted correctly).

The script works when I switch to the second xlabel statement,
or change the savefig output to png.

My setup:
