I got the whole Miktex distro -- I'll have a look at getting it going later.
It doesn't look like the includes & libs are the same as you have specified.

Let me get back to you on this.

Getting better, but still no luck. sorry, I just don't know the font stuff
in latex well enough to guess what is going on.

X:\pyx\examples>cat hello.py
from pyx import *
text.set(mode="latex")
text.preamble(r"\usepackage{times}")
c = canvas.canvas()
c.text(0, 0, "Hello, world!")
c.stroke(path.line(0, 0, 2, 0))
c.writetofile("hello")

X:\pyx\examples>python hello.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "hello.py", line 7, in ?
    c.writetofile("hello")

If I look at the keys in 'fontmap' with 'pt', I only see these:

ptmb8r
ptmb8y
ptmbi8r
ptmbi8y
ptmbo8r
ptmbo8y
ptmr8r
ptmr8rn
ptmr8y
ptmri8r
ptmri8y
ptmro8r
ptmro8y
ptmrr8re
