No worries, we're used to doing bug fix releases around here. Better
that you caught it than some irate gnuplot user who comes around here
complaining about matplotlib's PS file sizes 
Just commit the patch and in a few days as we iron out any remaining
bugs that are discovered I'll post a bug fix release.

Hello John,

Well, everything is of course still dominated by the huge included
fonts, so they will probably not notice 
Maybe I can start doing
something about this during the week-end. Let's see ...
Just commit the patch and in a few days as we iron out any remaining
bugs that are discovered I'll post a bug fix release.
The patch is already in CVS.
I have another (more intrusive) patch ready, which strips down the
PostScript file size even more by removing about 20 million
gsave/grestore pairs per figure. I tried the backend_driver script
and the patch seems to work. Can I also check this in, or should I be
stabilising the PostScript backend at the moment?
All the best,
Jochen
