When run as the web server, it's probably running as a different user.
Is Arial installed in ~/.fonts? If so the webserver user won't find it.

Hi all,
I'm trying to use matplotlib to generate some graphs on a webpage for
me. Everything works pretty well, except, I cannot make a change to
the fonts. I've set up the scripts to be called as a cgi script or to
be run from the command line. When I run them from the command line,
I get the correct font (Arial) yet when run from the web page, it uses
the CMR10 font. Arial is installed on the linux system.
I've thought the problem might be related to which matplotlibrc file
each script might be using, but when I
check matplotlib.matplotlib_fname() from the command line and web
page, they return the same.
Maybe there is a way to get the --verbose-debug output when run from a
web page? That could help me figure out what's going on.
You can set "verbose.level" to "debug-annoying" in your matplotlibrc.
If the webserver is collecting standard output, the debug messages
should end up in the web server logs.
I know I could manually specify the font using font_manager, but
that's not really ideal as I'd have to do it manually for each graph.
I'd rather have a global solution for all my graphs. Any help is
greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Mike
