Dear all,
I was trying to change all figure fonts to Arial, or Times, but without any
luck.
below is the section I modify the property.

***************************************************************************************
from numpy import *
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import pylab
params = {'font.size' : 16,
          'axes.labelsize' : 16,
          'font.style' : 'normal',
          'font.family' : 'sans-serif',
        'font.sans-serif' : 'Arial'
}
pylab.rcParams.update(params)
****************************************************************************************
The font.family line seems to be working ( I get different fonts when I
specify 'sans-serif' or 'monospace'), but changing font.sans-serif has no
effect at all. If the resulting figure is not changing, does it mean the
font used is always the default in sans-serif family(Bitstream Vera Sans)? I
wonder why matplotlib doesn't use more common fonts as default, like Arial
or Times which are accepted by most journals..


Thank you!
