matplotlib, usetex

[Bill Jackson]

Hi, I'm having some trouble plotting with the following matplotlibrc:

   text.usetex     : True

I tried clearing the cache files under ~/.matplotlib, but this did not 
help the problem. I'd post on the matplotlib mailing list, but I have a 
hard enough time browsing sourceforge's achives (frequent internal 
server errors).  Here is some output:


---- example.py ----

The problem does not exist when text.usetex is False.  Ideas?
