font problem with CVS version of PS backend

Development matplotlib-devel
#1

Hi,

Any hints on this one before I go deeper?

Here are the last few lines of the traceback I get with the PS backend using the latest CVS. I get no such error with the TkAgg backend.

   File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/text.py", line 77, in _draw
     renderer.draw_text(gc, x, y, self)
   File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_ps.py", line 142, in draw_text
     l,b,w,h = font.get_str_bbox(text)
AttributeError: get_str_bbox

Cheers!
Andrew

I've made improvements to the new font manager that should fix this problem. They should now be in CVS. Please give it a test.
