Relative to the axis size, not that I am aware of (although you might find
something in mplsizer in mpl_toolkits).  You can specify font sizes through
the size parameter:

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/artist_api.html#matplotlib.text.Text.set_size

But I think that is it.

It is very possible that this problem was fixed shortly after the 1.0.0
release.  Another possibility is that ipython might be causing an issue
where it is loading some older matplotlib codes before the rest of
matplotlib 1.0.0 is loaded (I have seen this happen once).

You can test for this theory by seeing if you have the same problem when
using the regular python shell.  If not, then it is likely to be a problem
with ipython.  If you do have the same problem in regular python, then the
problem is with matplotlib and you will need to build the latest from svn.

Browsing the web I think I find the solution :)
Hope this helps other users:
The only thing I did is to delete the file:
D:\Documents and Settings\Daniele\.matplotlib\fontList.cache
NB: My windows user is Daniele
Then start the exe and all is plotted correctly!

NB2: everytime I change the name of the "dist" directory I also have to
re-delete the fontList.cache file!

Hi all!
Any fix for this problem?
I have the same issue!
I'm using:
OS: windows xp sp3
Python: 2.6.6
numpy: 1.5.1
scipy: 0.8.0
matplotlib: 1.0.0
Tkinter
The .py script compiles well to exe program, but the matplotlib fonts
searching is done in D:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\fonts
(I have insatalled python in D:\python26) instead of dist\mpl-data\fonts
Matplotlib images in \dist\mpl-data\images are loaded correctly.
In dist\mpl-data\fonts I have same files and folder that are in
D:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\fonts
So if the folder fonts is in
D:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\fonts the exe program runs
correctly, but if I delete that folder the program doesn't plot tha data and
the log shows an error because it doesn't find the Vera font.
I attach the setup.py http://old.nabble.com/file/p30562579/setup.py setup.py 

Any help is appreciated!
