Matplotlib only subsets with Type 3 fonts as output. Type 42 is much 
harder to generate.
We could try generating glyph names when none are available -- anything 
guaranteed to be unique within the font would be fine. Since I don't 
run Windows, I need to somehow get access to the problematic font file 
for testing, though.
Cheers,
Mike

I did a lot of the initial fixes for Python 2.6 within the first week of 
the 2.6.0 release -- they were mostly of the warning/style nature. I've 
been running it on 2.6 on and off ever since, so it should be ok. But 
let us know if you find anything.
