hello, I have written a program which uses matplotlib to plot some figures, it uses mathtext to add some special chars (basically just the square on acceleration units), and the program works just fine, but using py2exe to build a windows executable, it fails somewhere drawing that square symbol. The error the program yields is something like "unable to convert string to unicode". Has anyone experienced this kind of problem with mathtext and py2exe or has any clue what is needed to be included at the py2exe setup.py to fix it? I know this is not the best place for an answer, but I couldn't find where to get help on py2exe site :-/ so if anyone could help... Thanks a lot. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/mathtext-and-py2exe-tp23319691p23319691.html Sent from the matplotlib - users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. |

It sounds like it is not finding the appropriate fonts. Have you tried installing (in C:\Windows\Fonts) all of the ttf files included with matplotlib? If that's not it, can you provide a complete traceback with the exact error message?

Thanks for the quick answer, I cant check now, it's also the reason why i didn't post the exact error code, but the program is supposed to use only Tahoma ttf font which I included on the data files.

The mathtext engine (by default at least) uses the Computer Modern fonts. Using a custom font, such as Tahoma, requires manual configuration.
