I think that this might be a bug in Vittorio's Debian packages.
There was a problem with the matplotlib font loading code which
made it only find fonts installed under /usr/share/matplotlib.
Since Debian hast the fonts under /usr/share/fonts they were not
found.  Maybe this was not fixed in his packages?

You can try my alternative packages at http://seehuhn.de/debian/,
which hopefully work.  Download python-matplotlib_0.63.4-2.1_i386.deb
=66rom there and install it manually with e.g.

    dpkg -i python-matplotlib_0.63.4-2.1_i386.deb

I hope this helps,
Jochen
