dvipng/miktex 2.5 usetex problem

I am trying to use latex with matplolib on Windows XP with MikTex 2.5
and dvipng 1.8.

I am getting this warning:
dvipng warning: font cmsy10 at 512 dpi not found, characters will be left blank

when I do this:

t=arange(0,1,0.01)
y=sin(2*pi*t)
plot(t,y)

and this
ylabel('$y(t)$')

leads to
dvipng warning: font cmr17 at 356 dpi not found, characters will be left blank

with no ylabel.

I am also getting a lot of other output (see below).

How do I fix this?

Thanks,

Ryan

dvipng warning: font cmr17 at 356 dpi not found, characters will be left blank

You could try changing your font settings in matplotlibrc, maybe times for
serif and helvetica for sans-serif. dvipng is trying to locate a font that
hasn't been (or cannot be) generated. This is usually an issue with bitmapped
fonts, which are generated on demand, so you would get lots of these messages
when working with a new Miktex install.

I dont know why bitmapped fonts are being used though, since usetex
specifically asks for type1 fonts. Maybe you need to go into your miktex
package manager and make sure you have type1cm available on your system.

Thanks Darren. type1cm got installed on the fly by miktex the first
time I ran this, but that must not have taken effect fast enough or
something. The miktex package manager now shows it as installed and
deleting my matplotlib tex.cache and ttfont.cache and re-running my
test leads to the usual, beautiful results (without changing the
default fonts).

Thank again,

Ryan
