Hi Ondrej,

Good things last and take time.

It might a different problem than just architecture mismatch.  But
maybe I'm getting something wrong and misunderstand you.

Michael, notice that 0.99.1 seems to the last version before your
commit af9954d46e5 which introduces versioning of the fontcache.  (It
is not tagged in git, only the commit message reveals it:
8398d9bd2c47.

I cannot see from http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7022 what
happened between the sagemath matplotlib-0.99.1.p2.spkg to
matplotlib-0.99.1.p4.spkg (patch 2 => patch 4).  But the last post by
jhpalmieri on that page might be related: "[...] But with my computer,
"uname -r" returns "10.2.0", not "10.0.0". [...]"  On my system it
returns currently 10.8.0 (I think since it's OS X 10.6.8).

Can you please check if you do have /Library/Fonts/NISC18030.ttf on
your system and maybe do a ``stat -f "%c"
/Library/Fonts/NISC18030.ttf`` on it?  For me, this one generates a
Bus error (32bit) / Abort trap (64bit) on importing matplotlib.figure,
for example.  My issue is related to loading that font file I
specified.  It might a different font file for you and it might also
be totally unrelated at all :-/

Or maybe you solved the problem in the meantime?

Do you still have this machine?  William, assumed he's William Stein,
was the one who posted
http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/browse_thread/thread/2c538915abc99946
in 2009, and who was able to partly track it down.

>From the page http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/7022 I see
that exactly that font file was installed on it (probably).

Thanks,
Friedrich

Looks ok.  But I didn't check it in detail.  I think it might be unrelated.
