I was struggling with this myself this week. Do:
import matplotlib.font_manager
fm = matplotlib.font_manager.FontManager()
If fm.ttfdict doesn't list a bunch of TrueType fonts that you think
should be listed, delete ~/.matplotlib/ttffont.cache , which will cause
it to be rebuilt the next time you import matplotlib.
Then try:
import matplotlib.text
t = matplotlib.text.Text( 'alskdjfalksdj' )
t.get_fontname()
p = t.get_font_properties()
p.get_name()
If this last statement returns the first element of
matplotlib.rcParams[ 'font.sans-serif' ]
then I would think that everything is working like it ought to.
If you get something like 'vera' at some point, then the absolute-last
fallback font is being used (fm.defaultFont).
Contrary to the comments in the default matplotlibrc, it seems that
font.size does not set the fontsize for axis labels and ticks; you have
to set [xy]tick.labelsize and axes.labelsize explicitly. But I haven't
had a chance to look into that ... yet.
hope that helps.
