Hi Jouni,

Sure. Here is the output from your suggestion:

Also, after some curiosity, I realised the file ~/.matplotlib/ 
fontList.cache doesn't exist. In fact, the ~/.matplotlib directory is  
empty, there aren't even any hidden files. On my other computer,  
matplotlib works fine and the ~/.matplotlib directory contains three  
files: fontList.cache, fontManager.cache and tex.cache.

Hope this explains more. Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
