two questions

So, ipython does not recognize --verbose-debug, I didn't

Oh you're right, I forgot. And this is an ipython only bug. You can
set the verbose setting to debug in your rc file and then run your
example from ipython to get the verbose output from ipython.

So to clarify after this recent confusion, here are the two things
that it would help to know:

* from ipython do you get the crash if you set your backend to be Agg
   and issue

    In [1]: plot([1,2,3])
    Out[1]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D instance at 0xb6cad26c>]

    In [2]: savefig('test')

    do you see the crash? Of course no figure will be plotted to the
    screen, but the png should be created.

* If you set VERBOSE=True in setup.py and verbose : 'debug' in rc,
   and issue the plot commands in tkagg from ipython that generates
   the crash, what does the verbose output generate, particularly the
   last 100 lines or so?

This works and the figure looks good.

Attached is the log file from

ipython -pylab myscript.py >& log.verb.debug

with VERBOSE = True and verbose=debug.
I dont' understand this. It looks like it failed to find any of the fonts, but then
why does the same setup work with python?
And the same setup works with mpl 0.83.2 and ipython, it crashes only with
mpl from cvs

Just to say that I'm keeping an eye on this, but I have no ipython-specific ideas I can contribute. I looked at the log you sent, but no bulb went off in my head, sorry.
