Hello, I would like to create PDFs of plot using the Helvetica font in the Light variant. In my old Mac OS X installation I somehow achieved this, I don't remember exactly how, but probably with an ugly hack that involved making matplotlib aware only of this variant of the font. In my new Mac OS X install I would like to solve this more properly.
I have Mac OS X 10.9 and I installed matplotlib 1.3.1 via Mac Ports. I also installed "fondu" to and I converted the Helvetica.dfont bundle into TTF fonts that I places into the mpl-data folder. I deleted the matplotlib font cache file and modified my matplotlibrc configuration file like this: font.family: sans-serif font.sans-serif: Helvetica font.weight: light The effect is that the plot title, legend, and tick mark labels are correctly rendered in Helvetica Light, while axis labels are rendered in Helvetica Regular. I'm I missing something or there is a problem in matplotlib for which the weight font attribute is not respected for axis labels? Thanks.
