Corrupted percent signs in labels

For some reason, my matplotlib isn't able to print percent signs ('%')

It's a known bug, fixed since 1.1.1.

PDF renderer draws strange artifacts on '%' character in 1.1.1 · Issue #1211 · matplotlib/matplotlib · GitHub

Indeed. Luckily 1.2.0~rc2-1 is in experimental, and upgrading fixed the
problem. Thanks!

Now the only question that remains is: why doesn't github find this
issue when I search for '%'?

BTW: If you're running the Debian package, how come the version is a
release candidate? (1.1.1rc2)

Not sure what you mean, why shouldn't it?

Best,

Indeed - we should file a bug with github. I was able to find it because I knew the bug had to do with ttconv -- but there's no reason a user should have to know that.

I had just forgotten that Debian went with a release candidate -- ideally it would have been a final release, but the schedule didn't work out that way.
