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

[Andre Walker-L. <wal...@gm...>]

It may not be an MPL issue, but rather Snow Leopard.

I have a friend who had font troubles, but it was because Mac OSX 10.6 (Snow
Leopard) changed the way fonts are handled.  He had a file in his home
directory (which he created on 10.5) which had some font specifications,
which he had to alter/remove to fix his trouble.

I can't remember any more details, but thought I would share in case this
helps.
