Great to know the problem is solved in your particular instance. In general, though, the font-finding algorithm is being a bit too strict. Currently there's no sense of "weighting of properties" in the way it looks up fonts -- it should probably do something to the effect that a match of the name is more important than a match in the weight. As it stands now, if it doesn't find an exact match it throws up its hands and just grabs the first available font... There is some experimental support for using fontconfig (the more-or-less standard way to look up fonts on Linux these days) in SVN of matplotlib -- hopefully by the next release some of these things will be worked out. > Here's something I noticed: When I copied ARIALUNI.TTF into > /usr/share/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf/ and ran the test plot, all > the characters are gibberish.

The problem is in this line: /usr/share/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf/cmex10.ttf That's Computer Modern "Extra Symbols" which is mainly comprised of characters for composing math equations -- there's no "letters" in there at all. When matplotlib doesn't find an exact match for a font, it's supposed to default to Vera Sans. In all your experimentation, did you perhaps delete the Vera Sans that comes with matplotlib? (It doesn't look like it was in the search path.) Restoring that file should at least remove the "gibberish" problem, but you still won't get the fonts you want. You'll (unfortunately) have to do like you did with Arial Unicode and set all the parameters correctly. (You may need to delete your font cache in ~/.matplotlib/ttffont.cache as well.)
