Hi
Kim,Changing the line 560 in mathtext.py from:
font = FT2Font(basename)to:
font = FT2Font(str(basename))Fixed it for me, I don’t know what FT2Font does and why this matters -
hopefully someone else can expand on this.
This worked here as well - sort of, at least.
It was just a guess, as I noticed that the other call to FT2Font is
using str too.
It does not crash anymore, but the LaTeX \alpha-\beta in the
title is not rendered correctly in the title of the graph for the users
who had problems before.
Yeap, I see this now too.
I guess it must be due to some fonts not being available in the
dist, which are available to me and others. I do not know if there is a
way to patch up setup.py such that the needed fonts are included in the
dist?
It should be there, i.e. mpl-data in the lib/site-packages/matplotlib
folder has the same number of files and folders as the one created by
setup.py in dist.
But it obviously doesn’t find it or some other setting to handle the
LaTex stuff is not there.
Put this at the top of alphabeta.py, i.e. just after import matplotlib
matplotlib.verbose.level = u’debug’
and change setup.py to generate a console app. If I run this on my dev
machine the output shows that fonts are found, but if I run it on the
py2exe’d version lots of STIX fonts are not found. Even so these fonts
are in mpl-data/fonts/ttf of the py2exe dist folder.
So, I think/guess that the font searching is not done correctly, as
running with verbose “debug” it shows that it finds the mpl-data folder
in the dist folder or wherever you copy dist too.
Hopefully someone who knows how the font searching is done can help
out/point to the culprit.
Attached your setup.py a bit simplified as you are
using matplotlib 0.99.
Thank you. I am using your setup.py now. It was very kind of you
to send that.
You are welcome
Werner
