Matplotlib is doing something with its fonts that is unfriendly. E.g., Ghostscript and Distiller choke on http://www.american.edu/econ/problems/matplotlib.fontproblem.eps Ghostscript says it is an invalid front. If I get rid of the verdana font encoding, the file displays fine. I have the same problem when I try to use the TeX fonts. I'm hoping there's a quick fix...
