That *is* strange. I'm at a bit of a loss. Is it segfaulting? Can you

Since I'm having no trouble with the FC11 packages, that suggests it's
something related to a difference in configuration. Are you doing
anything unusual with fontconfig? Are you 64-bit or 32-bit (I'm on
32-bit, for what it's worth)? Are you running the freetype or
freetype-freeworld package?

What does:
fc-list "Computer Modern"
display?
Nothing
, I think this might be the culprit. However, I have
cm-unicode's ttf fonts installed:

What fonts does matplotlib exactly need here?
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm grasping for something here 
I appreciate you putting in your time and effort for this seemingly
bizarre issue
