[Bug 394502] [NEW] umlauts cause KeyError

[Torsten Bronger]

Public bug reported:

I use 0.98.5.2 with PDF output and the following settings:

matplotlib.rcParams["text.usetex"] = True
matplotlib.rcParams["text.latex.preamble"] = r"\def\rmdefault{ud2}\usepackage{eulervm}"
matplotlib.rcParams['text.latex.unicode'] = True

("ud2" is a special font that I use.)

Now,

axes.set_ylabel(u"Ätzrate in nm/min")

causes the following TB:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    h = _mul2012(font._scale, font._tfm.height[g])
KeyError: 127

Apparently Matplotlib tries to get the font metrics of glyph 127
(dieresis in OT1 encoding) and finds nothing.
