As suggested by Phil, I'm reposting github issue #2067 on this list. I use MPL 1.2.1 on Windows with Python 2.7.5. In my matplotlibrc I've set sans-serif font to "Segoe UI".
Now, if I try to save a plot to PDF, MPL saves it fine, but if I try PS or EPS or SVG it fails, because of the font set. (If I don't change the font everything is fine) Here is PDF info from mutool: ============================================================ PDF-1.4 Info object (27 0 R): << /CreationDate (D:20130528120149+02'00') /Producer (matplotlib pdf backend) /Creator (matplotlib 1.2.1, http://matplotlib.sf.net) >> Pages: 1 Retrieving info from pages 1-1... Mediaboxes (1): 1 ( 10 0 R): [ 0 0 576 432 ] Fonts (1): 1 ( 10 0 R): Type3 'SegoeUI' (14 0 R) ============================================================ So I wonder how can MPL output PDF, but can't output PS/EPS, let aside SVG? And here is full trace from IPython: ================================================================================ KeyError Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-63-6bec7f50eb05> in <module>() ----> 1 savefig('test.eps') C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\pyplot.pyc in savefig(*args, **kwargs) 470 def savefig(*args, **kwargs): 471 fig = gcf() --> 472 return fig.savefig(*args, **kwargs) 473 474 @docstring.copy_dedent(Figure.ginput) C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\figure.pyc in savefig(self, *args, **kwargs) 1368 kwargs.setdefault('edgecolor', rcParams['savefig.edgecolor']) 1369 -> 1370 self.canvas.print_figure(*args, **kwargs) 1371 1372 if transparent: C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backend_bases.pyc in print_figure(self, filename, dpi, facecolor, edgecolor, orientation, format, **kwargs) 2094 orientation=orientation, 2095 bbox_inches_restore=_bbox_inches_restore, -> 2096 **kwargs) 2097 finally: 2098 if bbox_inches and restore_bbox: C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\backend_bases.pyc in print_eps(self, *args, **kwargs) 1841 from backends.backend_ps import FigureCanvasPS #
