Original report at SourceForge, opened Thu Jan 13 07:05:53 2011

Reducing the font size results in an incorrect line style being shown in the legend. Take this code snippet

import matplotlib
matplotlib.rcParams['font.size']=5
from pylab import *
plot([1,2,3,4], '--', label='A')
legend()
show()

Please see the annotated output of this code.

It is not that the line style is actually wrong, but it looks wrong because the handlelength is too short.
You need to explicitly increase the handlelength.

plt.legend(handlelength=5)
