BUG: py-pyx-0.8 can't find latex fonts properly (Fails on Hello World)

[tom@…]

Hello world appears to be having problems after the upgrade to 0.8. PyX can't find the appropriate latex font files. The "hello world" source is just:

from pyx import * c = canvas.canvas() c.text(0, 0, "Hello, world!") c.stroke(path.line(0, 0, 2, 0)) c.writeEPSfile("hello") c.writePDFfile("hello")

My output is:

$ python Python 2.4.1 (#1, Jul 5 2005, 12:17:35) [GCC 4.0.0 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5026)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

from pyx import *

c = canvas.canvas() c.text(0, 0, "Hello, world!")

Traceback (most recent call last):

py-pyx is at 0.9 now. Since it has been awhile I'l close this. If the problem is still there you should open a new ticket on the new version.

I find that PyX 0.9 has the same problems finding latex font files. In my experience, this package has never worked. Here's the minimal example to produce the error.

from pyx import *
c = canvas.canvas()
c.text(0, 0, "Hello, world!")
c.writePDFfile("hello")

I deeply appreciate your consideration of this issue.

Okay, sorry, I have it working now after recent updates. Don't know what changed. Please close bug and disregard previous note.

Will do. Thanks.
