[matplotlib-devel] bug in font display using png backend

[Detlef M. <det...@ki...>]

Hi all,

there is a problem in the font display in the newest trunk version of 
matplotlib (git rev. 76665d059523cf)

I ran a clean installation and the test script. You can see in the 
attachment that the fonts are somehow screwed up. It seems to depend on 
the graphics backend. In the screenshot, the title is broken. In the png 
output, only the axis labels are broken. In the pdf, everything looks fine.

It looks like this bug has been introduced after tag v1.1.0 (I switched 
back to the tag and the fonts look fine there).

If you want me to run further tests, please let me know.
