Oh, I see the bug. The reason the lines are there that you commented
out is to allow you to specify multiple font dirs in your path, as in
set AFMPATH = c:\somepath\fonts;e:\some\other\path\fonts
But I wasn't properly doing a platform independent path split.
The code should read
def _get_afm_filenames(self):
paths = [os.path.join(distutils.sysconfig.PREFIX, 'share', 'matplotlib')]
if os.environ.has_key('AFMPATH'):
afmpath = os.environ['AFMPATH']
paths.extend(afmpath.split(os.pathsep))
fnames = [fname for fname in get_recursive_filelist(paths)
if fname.lower().find('.afm')>0 and
os.path.exists(fname)]
return fnames
Thanks for helping me diagnose it. Please let me know if the above
works on your system!

Yes, the previous version caught the ":" in the drive letter specification.

Yes, it works. I had thought of testing for "if OS == win" sort of stuff instead of testing for the presence of ";" or ":". But it appears that Python has the foresight to provide os.pathsep. I learnt a bit more and love Python a bit more.

You deserve much thanks for developing such a nice package.
An afterthought: perhaps an EPS backend instead of/additional to a PS backend would be more convenient for inclusion into publications. I know very little about postscript programming so I don't know what's the effort involved, though.
Best regards,
