I think this is what was meant by Ken via Carlo regarding matplotlib
being a 'moving target'. Lately, I've run into frequent errors
depending on the backend I choose.
To fix the libpangocairo error, edit the
/usr/share/matplotlib/matplotlibrc and change the backend. Currently
WXagg works for me, but GTKAgg results in the error you mentioned.
Note: I think I was using WXAgg up until a few weeks ago and had to
switch to GTKAgg because something else was broken. Such is life. I
still have to comment that I've been very happy with matplotlib and
I'm using it to generate *.eps figures for a journal article.
Hope that helps,
JDR
