I'm not sure it's the best approach, but I've used HPacker (or VPacker if you
want more than one line) to do this
from matplotlib.offsetbox import HPacker
from matplotlib.offsetbox import VPacker
from matplotlib.offsetbox import TextArea
from matplotlib.offsetbox import AnchoredOffsetbox
plot([1,2,3,4,5])
wloc = TextArea('WIND XYZ=()', textprops=dict(color="r", size=12))
sloc = TextArea('SOHO XYZ=()', textprops=dict(color="k", size=18))
txt1 = HPacker(children=[wloc, sloc], align="baseline", pad=0, sep=12)
txt2 = VPacker(children=[wloc, sloc], align="baseline", pad=0, sep=30)
bbox = AnchoredOffsetbox(loc=1.0, pad=0, borderpad=0,
bbox_to_anchor=(0.8, 0.10),
bbox_transform=gca().transAxes,
child=txt1,
frameon=False)
gca().add_artist(bbox)
bbox = AnchoredOffsetbox(loc=1.0, pad=0, borderpad=0,
bbox_to_anchor=(0.4, 0.80),
bbox_transform=gca().transAxes,
child=txt2,
frameon=False)
gca().add_artist(bbox)
