Dear Nathan,

I ma happy to help, it is my interest to get it run - I use and teach
students to use python 3 since there is many cool new features in py3.

yes, I would use that; matplotlib seems to work otherwise.

maybe something is special, I admit that after installation on top of my
custom-built python 3.4.3 on Fedora 22
cd
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt
cd yt
hg update yt
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pip3 install yt
I upgraded all packages to current version
pip3 freeze --local | grep -v '^\-e' | cut -d = -f 1 | xargs -n1 pip3
install -U

In [1]: mpl.__version__
Out[1]: '1.4.3'
Maybe I need to check/update my mpl resource file which is not 5 yr old...?
I will try to update mpl to current development version
In [1]: mpl.__version__
Out[1]: '1.5.dev1'
unfortunately the error remains. I am a bit worried about the line
--> 697 result = self._font[texname.decode('ascii')]
I will check tomorrow where 'cmsy10' may come from.
Should I also be suing the current development version of yt to make
error tracking against current version (and getting fixes) easier?
(and is this the correct list for this, or should I be using the
yt-devel list?)
Best wishes,
Alexander
