[Matplotlib-users] postscript fonts: examples in matplotlib

[Ed L. <la...@fu...>]

All,

I am wondering if anyone knows of a working example that yields
a postscript figure editable in Adobe Illustrator; that is, the characters are editable as characters. 
I have only been able to get drawn fonts and would love to have a test case that is known  to work.

My environment is:
> python
Python 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Sep 11 2010, 15:25:14) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5659)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import matplotlib
>>> matplotlib.__version__             
'1.0.0'
>>> matplotlib.__file__
'/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/__init__.pyc'
>>> 
my rc file is:
backend : TkAgg # the default backend
interactive : True
ps.usedistiller : xpdf

I can produce postscript fonts outside python, say in IDL.
I can produce postscript fonts in python using the psg package, but not matplotlib. 
In all the examples at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/ I did not find anything that
explicitly addresses this issue.

Thanks to anyone who answers with a test case.
