The current matplotlib CVS appears to have some kind of bug in its EPS output. When I try to open a generated eps file in illustrator, it displays "The operation cannot complete because of an unknown error." Ghostscript can still open the eps files without errors. This bug must have been introduced recently, because it didn't exist on Oct 30th (I installed matplotlib from CVS then to test the new contouring without subdivision code) so I'm guessing it must have to do with the "added afm support for mathtext" patch.
To give me some idea where to look for whatever I've done wrong it would
be useful to know whether you are actually using the afm output or not.
Thanks,
Nick
