Dave,
I had the same problem as you. Here is a solution...
Try editing your matplotlib rc file and change these font preferences
font.serif : New Century Schoolbook, Century Schoolbook L, Utopia, ITC Bookman, Bookman, Bitstream Vera Serif, Nimbus Roman No9 L, Times New Roman, Times, Palatino, Charter, serif
font.sans-serif : Lucida Grande, Verdana, Geneva, Lucida, Bitstream Vera Sans, Arial, Helvetica, Avant Garde, sans-serif
font.cursive : Apple Chancery, Textile, Zapf Chancery, Sand, cursive
font.fantasy : Comic Sans MS, Chicago, Charcoal, Impact, Western, fantasy
font.monospace : Andale Mono, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Nimbus Mono L, Courier New, Courier, Fixed, Terminal, monospace
by moving the bitstream fonts to the front.
Next, you have to use LaTeX for all the 'text' you include in your plot. Add rc('text', usetex=True) at the begining of your Python script or modify your matplotlibrc file.
Everything is working fine after that.
Regards.
Benoit

Hiya, i'm having a problem getting a valid postscript file produced on OS X.
Using the example subplot_demo.py, modified to include the line:
savefig('subplot_demo')
in the place of the show() command, and running it using:
python subplot_demo.py -dPS
Produces the .ps file (available here for reference:
http://www.irbdavid.com/misc/subplot_demo.ps ), which can't be opened
by Preview on os x - says its can't convert it to PDF & cant open the
file. Checked the permissions etc on the file and they're fine.
Its pretty much a default installation of matplotlib etc, and output
displays fine on screen, using the wxPython / wxAgg thing (I think
that's what i mean 
)
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Dave
