Re: [matplotlib-devel] Subsetting fonts in Postscript

[Eric F. <ef...@ha...>]

Carl,

I have made a few changes in svn to facilitate testing cairo with 
backend_driver (and to fix a bug that turned up), and I will do a bit 
more on this later today or tomorrow.  The result of a quick pass 
through the backend_driver test with png output is quite encouraging, 
though.  There are some bugs in string placement, image handling, and 
clipping, but most things work, including mathtext.  Default fonts seem 
to be different.
