As you say it seems only one font at a time can be specified. These are 
the ones I have managed to use by only specifying a single font: Times 
New Roman, Georgia, Euclid, Arial, Vera.

It seems the Nimbus Roman my LaTeX installation uses is from utmr8a.pfm 
and utmr8a.pfb some kind of Type 1 font. I can install the pfm file in 
the system font directory but not the pfb files, anyway matplotlib won't 
use it. Is there a free ttf version available somewhere or is it 
possible to put the pfm/pfb files it somewhere else and have matplotlib 
use it?


Thanks for looking in to this,
Jörgen
