It looks like you're configured for the STIX fonts (the rcParam mathtext.fontset = stix), but they are not installed on your system.
Do you have the file "STIXGeneral.ttf" on your system? Perhaps you need to install an additional package.

Which backend are you using?
Can you set the rcParam "verbose.level" to "debug-annoying" and then
send us the output produced when running a plot? This will include a
number of lines about font lookup that may help us diagnose the problem.
Hi, Mike. I'm currently doing this interactively on a Gnome, X-windows desktop.The default backend for this is evidently:
TkAgg
I've appended the debug-annoying output, but it may be, as Ben Root has
observed,
that I just need a newer version of matplotlib.Thanks for your help.
