I'm sorry, I have no idea. I guess you would have to take it up with
ghostscript, that is the program that is producing the file that adobe and
apple preview is having trouble with.
Since this is on Mac OS X, I suspect it is the long-standing font
problem; that is, matplotlib finds and uses some system fonts but does
not embed them correctly. If you force the Bitstream Vera family of
fonts, does it work then?

I think this is an xpdf error message. Adding "errQuiet yes" to
~/.xpdfrc might silence it, at the cost of omitting more serious
messages too.

I doubt this is the case. The ghostscript distiller does not embed any fonts,
it renders the text as rasters.

When I diff the ghostscript generated eps which does not distill and the ps which does.
There is not much difference. I know next to nothing about postscript but the differences
have to do with the prolog and trailer and nothing else.
