rgbcolor bug bites pdfs, casting to int solves it

[sagetrac-mhampton]

Colored text breaks pdf saves. PNG saves and show() work fine.

It seems to be fixed by forcing the rgbcolor into ints, i.e. rgbcolor = (int(1),int(0),int(0)) works fine.

Here's an example:

t1 = text('Hi, this is a bug',(1,1), rgbcolor = (1,0,0))
t1.save(DATA+'bugplot.pdf')

William suggested that this probably got fixed in matplotlib as pdf rendering got more mature/stable/done and/or less experimental.
