That is correct. ttconv is a tool to convert and subset Truetype fonts
to Postscript fonts for embedding in Postscript files.

The undefined symbols you get are from the C++ standard library. These
sorts of messages are very common when you compile something on one
version of gcc (libg++) and then run on a machine with another version
of libg++. Did you obtain binaries for matplotlib 0.91.2 somewhere, or
did you compile from source?

I suspect most of the file size difference is due to the inclusion of
the STIX math fonts. There weren't huge amounts of code added between
0.90 and 0.91.
