[Qgis-developer] matplotlib ascii errors when using OSGeo4W install

[Josef K]

OK, somehow the problem is fixed. I really do not know what happened and
why it starts working but along the way I tried removing the .matplotlib
folder in my user local settings. I also tried a fresh QGIS install from
the 64-bit standalone installer (2.0.1-3) and then the same from the 32-bit
standalone installer. Matplotlib was OK again after the 32-bit install,
even _after_ I uninstalled the 32-bit version.
