This might put you on the right track:

I am doing some work on an agg backend, and would like to include
freetype support. I've been looking into borrowing heavily from
paint's approach. I remember David that you said you were looking
into upgrading to freetype 2, and am wondering if you've had any luck
here, if this looks doable, what the time frame would be etc...
scipy has a freetype 2 wrapper, but it has a lot of scipy dependencies
built in so it looks like it would take some work to tease them out.
On a separate note, I was thinking about doing a matplotlib-0.50 (to
the wider python-list, scipy-list, etc...) release in the near future,
but want to wait until pypaint is up. I see that the sf site now
exists. When do you expect to be live? Will you have some install
instructions for linux and win32 users?
Thanks,
JDH

I just made a minor change in the backend API. The faceColor argument
(formerly a color arg) for draw_rectangle, draw_arc, etc... is now a
graphics context instance. I updated all the backends in CVS. 
Unfortunately Jeremy, there now appears to be a bug in wx. I can't
tell if it was something I did or something that was there already,
because with wx swallowing the exceptions, I can't find it! I also
added a few more debug print messages to functions that don't have
them already, but still couldn't track it down. Sorry for the
trouble.
Note to any wx savvy readers! Jeremy and I have been struggling over
the tendency of wx to eat exceptions in a way that we can't recover.
If anyone knows how to disable this in wxpython, please contact us.

I made a two minor changes
 * dataTable is renamed to data_table to be consistent with matplotlib
 function naming.
 * I moved Cell into table.py and removed cell.py
If I could impose on you one more time. I would like to add a table
screenshot to the web page. Something along the lines of the first
table example you sent (with the stacked bar chart) but using
data_table to build the table. The code should be as simple as
possible since we want to emphasize the ease of use. Do you have some
data you can use to make a table that can be displayed on the web? I
have a data dir in the examples dir that I use to distribute data.

Great -- it's in CVS. I took the liberty of adding

Thanks a lot - this is a great addition.

See attached.
table.py now has dataTable which does the autogenerating of tables given
cells, rows and column stuff and tries to do sensible things if only a
subset is actually supplied.
data_table_demo.py is an example of dataTable in action.
I've included the latest version of cell.py 'cos I think I've added more
to that in the last 24 hours as well.
re: including this in the next release, that would be excellent.
