Yes, I think that's a known bug. The font manager doesn't know how to read the bold version of Helvetica from Helvetica.dfont. A workaround is to run fondu (http://fondu.sourceforge.net/) on Helvetica.dfont, put the resulting ttf files in some directory and use them directly: In [20]: from matplotlib.font_manager import FontProperties In [21]: fp=FontProperties(fname='/tmp/HelveticaBold.ttf',size=14) In [22]: text(.1,.1,'this is bold',fontproperties=fp) -- Jouni K.
