Hi
I have just installed matplotlib and Python 2.3.3 for Windows (Enthought Edition) on Win XP. Then I ran the sample at:
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/screenshots/simple_plot.py. It caused the traceback below, related to the ttfcache
I have tried:
1. Created a System Environment variable called ttfcache that points to C:\Documents and Settings\gventer\Local Settings\Application Data
(which is where the Windows font cache file IconCache.db is)
2. Created a folder in %USERPROFILE%\\.ttffont.cache - (that is C:\Documents and Settings\gventer\.ttffont.cache)
Every time I still get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\myscripts\simple_plot.py", line 1, in ?
from matplotlib.matlab import *

fontManager = FontManager()
File "C:\PYTHON23\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\font_manager.py", line 790, in __init__
pickle.dump(self.ttfdict, file(ttfcache, 'w'))
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '%USERPROFILE%\\.ttffont.cache'
What else could I try?
Thanks
