Re: [Matplotlib-users] Failed to save eps

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

It seems to be failing on the minus signs in the text, due to a recent 
(incorrect) change to declared encoding of the postscript file.

This has been corrected in r8305.

You didn't mention which version of matplotlib you are running... I'm 
not sure this bug would be in the latest released version, only SVN trunk.
