Does it work if you put this into your matplotlibrc?verbose.level: debug-annoying
(Note it's debug-annoying, not simply annoying)

Hmm. That font is definitely not Vera Sans. Something really odd is
going on here.
I can appreciate that goal -- and AFAIK it does work for other users on
Ubuntu 7.10 so there is probably just
some configuration problem here that we can hopefully get to the bottom of.
Do you have any customizations in your matplotlibrc?
Cheers,
Mike
Mike,
I've not made any other changes to matplotlibrc. In fact I only just now have
copied the one in /etc to my $HOME/.matplotlib directory. It still seemed to
pick up the /etc version as you'll see below, I guess coz I was sudo'd as
root? 
anyway...
Interesting the font search path seems to only include mpl-data fonts, but it
does seem to know about the ones in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/freefont. Then
fails to use one, so we're always back to cmr10. The output below was for my
test plot but it's pretty much the same (longer) story for fonts_demo.py I
tried copying all the freetype fonts into mpl-data/font and everything came
out FreeSansOblique. Still failed to find the correct font, but used something
a little closer. What do you make of it?
I'll be away for a while but I'll check the list if I can.
Cheers,
Paul
