Thanks. When looking up the x-height, the code was not taking the font
size into account. This has been fixed on the branch and trunk.

Thanks. It looks much better in png, but pdf has the subscript raised much
higher, and svg isn't rendering fonts at all (see attached).

Can you provide the full traceback here so we can diagnose and fix this
problem? The only reference to isfinite seems to be in the PDF backend,
which is working for me, and is identical in 0.91.2 and trunk in that
respect. There is probably a more complex Numpy version interaction
going on.

I recompiled with Numpy 1.1 and the problem went away. I'm going to
ignore the issue for now.

That was a DPI-related bug, that is hopefully now fixed in SVN.

and svg isn't rendering fonts at all (see attached).
  

Thanks. The SVG was broken in SVN March 26 trying to workaround an Inkscape copy/paste bug. I think it is fixed now so it works in Mozilla and Inkscape simultaneously. But please let me know if you see anything fishy -- there seems to be a great deal of variability between SVG viewers.

Are you seeing this bug with 0.91.2 release, or just the 0.91.2 SVN branch? I'd be surprised by the former (and I can't reproduce it there).

Cheers, and thanks for your patience,
Mike
