Thanks for the advice! The hack suggested by Peter works fine - even though I still get warnings when I use diifferent commands. I am very happy to see nice looking plots coming on my screen!
The extra line in the hack suggested by John brings back the problem (causing an error).

When I try to import pylab, I get the error message shown
below. I also tried the earlier version of matplotlib
(matplotlib-0.87.win32-py2.3) with the same result. File
“C:\Python23\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\font_manager.py”,
line 456, in createFontDict warnings.warn("Cannot handle
unicode filenames %s"%fpath)
So, it looks like what’s happening is that Matplotlib is
trying to cache your font files, and as it does so, it’s
encountered a font whose filename has unicode characters in
it. This is not a problem in and of itself, and it just
The irony is that warning comes in unicode exception handling
Try replacing that block of code with
try:
font = ft2font.FT2Font(str(fpath))
except RuntimeError:
warnings.warn(“Could not open font file %s”%fpath)
continue
except UnicodeError:
warnings.warn(“Cannot handle unicode filenames”)
print >> sys.stderr, ‘Bad file is’, fpath
continue
