Re: [Matplotlib-users] matplotlib svn bug: "Found an unknown keyword in AFM header..."?

[Andrew J. <a.h...@gm...>]

Hi-

I admit I don't understand the problems or the speccific code involved, 
but I *think* it may be that the OSX-specific code isn't restricted to 
afm files. Hence I wonder if the following is a fix:

% svn diff lib/matplotlib/font_manager.py
Index: lib/matplotlib/font_manager.py
===================================================================
--- lib/matplotlib/font_manager.py      (revision 3727)
+++ lib/matplotlib/font_manager.py      (working copy)

              fontpaths = x11FontDirectory()
              # check for OS X & load its fonts if present
              if sys.platform == 'darwin':
-                for f in OSXInstalledFonts():
+                for f in OSXInstalledFonts(fontext=fontext):
                      fontfiles[f] = 1

              for f in get_fontconfig_fonts(fontext):

It would be great if someone could confirm this and submit to svn.
