Are these effects observed within a single python session (all tests
in one script or a single interactive session from the shell).
matplotlib does cache some font information within a single run.

If it is *between* python sessions, you might want to try clearing the
font cache between runs and see if this makes a difference

The effects are observed from with a single python session.
Out of curiosity - Is there any way of clearing the cache within a session ?

Thanks
