Reported by Pål Gunnar Ellingsen at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.matplotlib.general/26638

A similar-looking problem: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.fink.user/32231

Somehow dviread.PsfontsMap doesn't find cmr12 in pdftex.map, even though that's one of the really core TeX fonts that every reasonable TeX installation will have.

Branch jkseppan/dviread-bug has some extra debugging output calls at level debug-annoying.

   The file actually lacked cm fonts. It doesn't crash pdftex, because it can output a bitmap Type-3 rendering of the pk font, but that's clearly suboptimal. I'd classify this as a TeX packaging bug.

   To fix, try sudo updmap-sys --enable MixedMap=cm.map.
