[Matplotlib-users] stix fonts don't work with ghostscript

[Bernhard V. <ber...@gm...>]

I've been trying to use the STIXGeneral font that comes with
matplotlib (my version is 0.91.1). It's rendered ok on the screen,
however, when saving the fig as an eps file my postscript processor
(ghostscript) can't read the font information included in the eps file
(ps.fonttype 42 in config file). I wonder if it's a bug in the
conversion to ttf, that has been applied to the STIX font. Saving to
pdf format works, but the ticklabels are not rendered correctly,
there's too much space between the glyphs and they are overlapping
with the axes. The title looks good, though.

Thanks for help! Bernhard
