Errors, warnings, fonts and py2exe

_Armando_Serrano_Lom · November 10, 2011, 1:03pm

Hello, I’m having a weird problem with matplotlib not finding fonts when being used from a py2exe packed program. The weird thing is that the program works fine on some computers, gives an annoying warning in others (but otherwise keeps working and plots things ok) or gives an error (and no plot is produced) in others.

A strange thing I noticed is that I’m using python 2.5 and one of the warnings is referring to python 2.6, so somehow it must be confusing itself with a python version installed in that computer.

Can somebody help?

Thanks,
Armando.

Did you include the fonts as described here?

I’m doing data_files += matplotlib.get_py2exe_datafiles().

By the way, the plot I’m trying to do is in log scale, so it is using superscripts (when I was searching the lists for an answer I saw some posts mentioning this had caused problems).

Oh, and I’m using options={‘py2exe’:{‘bundle_files’:1, ‘optimize’:1}}.

Python 2.5.4 and matplotlib 1.0.0.

Did you ever find the cause of this?

I found that the get_py2exe_datafiles() method didn’t find those fonts but even when I got the fonts manually I still had the same issue with matplotlib’s Font Manager not being able to find them.
