[Python-modules-team] Bug#699528: python-matplotlib: PDF renderer draws strange artifacts on '%' character in matplotlib 1.1.1

[Juergen Fuchsberger]

Package: python-matplotlib
Version: 1.1.1~rc2-1
Severity: normal

Hi all,

This is a known bug from matplotlib 1.1.1, see
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/1211

It is very annoying since many plot include % signs. An update to matplotlib
1.1.2 for wheezy should thus be made soon.

regards, Juergen
