>Could you try a "divide and conquer" approach to narrow down which svn
revision introduced the breakage. I realize this is tedious, especially
since the bug manifestation is variable, but it if we could figure out the
revision number, we'd be more likely to be able to fix it.
Good suggestion. I tried remaking the an installer for 1.0.0 and it has
the exact same issue. I am surprised because I only use the machine for
one purpose: making binary installers) and I don't recall rebuilding any
of the libraries but either I did or there's been some corruption.
In any case the good news is that it has nothing to do with matplotlib
itself and is all my fault. Presumably libfreetype has gotten corrupted
or I built a new version and messed something up. I'll pursue it.
