Description of problem: Cannot save plots in PDF format with Python 2.5. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): python-matplotlib-0.90.1-2.fc8 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Try to write out a plot in PDF format, e.g. with a script such as: from pylab import * plot(arange(6)) savefig('test.pdf') Actual results: Python traceback, ending in File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/matplotlib/backends/backend_pdf.py", line 505, in get_char_width unicode = cp1252.decoding_map[charcode] or 0 AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'decoding_map' Expected results: Plot is produced in PDF format. Additional info: See http://www.mail-archive.com/matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg03913.html for the original bug report and a patch. Alternatively, the fix appears to be in the 0.91.2 release, so you could just update to the latest version.
I'll look at spinning up the updated version this weekend. Ping this report again if you haven't heard from me by Monday. -jef
Sorry I was sick last weekend. I'm working on packaging the new upstream version for updates-testing today. -jef
