[Matplotlib-users] LaTeX, eps, ghostscript, and the like

[Robert H. <he...@ta...>]

I have been following the discussions about getting LaTeX text  
processing, I have tried it myself, and I have been unsuccessful.  I  
gave gnu-ghostscript, I have tried a number of different rc settings,  
but nothing seems to work well.  PNG output has very poor quality  
text, EPS output chokes ghostscript, and PS output appears as nothing.

I am sure I am doing something stupid.  I just don't know which  
stupid thing it is.

Is there a place where all of the important issues are laid out?  I  
would like to see someone who understands all of the important issues  
start a HOWTO on the scipy Wiki.  I would contribute, after I get  
going..

Short of that, any sort of conglomeration of information would be  
very helpful.  Thanks,

-Rob
