[Matplotlib-users] Could not fire up pylab in Japanese Win XP

[Natsu <nat...@ya...>]

Hi,
After resolving the font_manager.py issue, I could fire up pylab on
Japanese Win 2K. However, on my Win XP Japanese PCs, there seems
some trouble remaining.

The following result was obtained with Enthogut python 2.3.3 on XP
professional Version 2002 SP1, Japanese.
On other PC with XP SP2, Japanese, I got a similar error.
So I'm afraid it is repeatable to any Japanese Win XP.

Maybe, my WinXPs are not fresh and clean.  What do you think?
I'm ready to test the special debugging build which was mentioned in the
list earlier, if the binaries are sent to me.

Then a message box appears telling that python.exe is quitting.
The box has a link and a "debug" button.

The "debug" button tells that
The instruciton "0x1e07460e" refers to memory at "0x00000000".
It could not be "read". (in Japanese)

The link gudes to an other message box which tells that the error
signature is as follows:
