CellProfiler/CellProfiler — Issue #105: JIRA [IMG-1238] Save functionality (from image windows) fails for certain image types

If you double click an image from the lower left file list, then click the"Save" icon, it works fine if you leave at the default".png". Choosing .pdf saves a picture of empty axes and .eps yields a matplotlib error.
Workarounds exist - it's not so terrible to save as PNG and use another program to save a different format - so it's not a massive problem.

PDF works on my development version. The EPS code suffers from several bugs in Matplotlib - I found and fixed two, then ran into"such a bug" that I'm convinced that trying to fix Matplotlib's code and deliver a patch is a losing proposition. I can see from the Matplotlib code that your best bet is to try different fonts - you can do this by going into File / Preferences and changing the title font there.
