gs --version works with AFPL. Could someone please check that this works on 
windows: gswin32c --version

It looks like findfont is not designed to identify OpenType fonts. The STIX 
license allows fonts to be converted, so I could probably generate ttf's, but 
maybe it would be better to modify font_manager to support otfs?

That's great news. I'm very curious how they look with mathtext.
I'll be away from the office for the rest of the week. If any of you want to try it in the meantime, it's theoretically possible it already works (assuming there's no strange metrics issues in the font.) ---> Set mathtext.use_cm to False, and then set mathtext.it, .rm etc. to use the STIX fonts.

Thanks for the report.
The mri_with_eeg.py demo is known not to work (I just haven't got around to updating it yet).
As for speed, your results are consistent with mine. There is probably still some low hanging fruit to be optimized on the branch, but I expect that the new design will ultimately be slower than the current trunk, due to moving a number of things into Python/Numpy from pure C and the increased generalization of the code.
Cheers,
Mike
