[Matplotlib-users] Math fonts not working after upgrading to MPL 1.0

[Jeremy C. <jlc...@gm...>]

I have trouble getting any symbols or any super/sub scripts to work
since I upgraded to 1.0 a few months ago.  I always get a message
saying that some font isn't found.  This occurs whenever I try to put
symbols, superscripts, or subscripts in a label, or when I use a log
scale (because then it MPL has to use superscripts).  I have tried
changing my matplotlibrc file but haven't found any combination of
settings that help.

To illustrate the problem, I have included three files, one python
file and the other the error as captured from the output as well as my
matplotlibrc file.  The python file is trivial:

# -------------------------------------------------
import matplotlib.pyplot as pyplot

pyplot.plot([1,2,3], label='$\alpha > \beta$')

pyplot.legend()
pyplot.show()
# -------------------------------------------------

Can someone please help me figure out what is wrong?  I'm on a Mac
running 10.6, python 2.6, matplotlib 1.0, and I have TeX installed.

Thanks,
Jeremy
