[Matplotlib-users] Tabstops render as squares

[Joe]

Hello,

I was trying to render a pdf document with some data
aligned by tabstops.
But Matplotlib renders the tabs as squares,
at first I thought it is related to the pdf, but it
also happens with titles or labels.

I know it does not make much sense there, but
this is as far as I could break it down.

-----------
import matplotlib
from pylab import *

#matplotlib.rcParams['pdf.fonttype'] = 42 #42 #TTF 42, 3 ?

matplotlib.rcParams['ps.useafm'] = True
matplotlib.rcParams['pdf.use14corefonts'] = True

#this seems to work, but only on my simple example
#it throws a lot of latex errors with my original code.
#matplotlib.rcParams['text.usetex'] = True

figure(figsize=(3,3))
title('Page' + '\t' + 'One')
show()
------------

And ideas how to solve this?

Joe
