Hi there,
I'm trying to change the font default on my graph to New Century Schoolbook.
I'm trying to do this by editing the matplotlibrc file. Unfortunately,
although I'm able to change the font.family, I can't figure out how to make
it use something other than the default in the family... I tried changing
the list further down to only include the font I want, like this:
font.serif : New Century Schoolbook #Bitstream Vera Serif, New
Century Schoolbook, Century Schoolbook L, Utopia, ITC Bookman, Bookman,
Nimbus Roman No9 L, Times New Roman, Times, Palatino, Charter, serif
(note I commented out the other fonts, just rearranging the list to put New
Century Schoolbook first didn't seem to work either)
Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks a lot!
Alex
Hi, sorry I wasn't too clear... I changed that, but I don't seem to be able
to choose between the different serif fonts, it just always gives me the
default...

Can you set "verbose.level" to "debug-annoying" in your matplotlibrc file, and then send the output to this list. That may help us track down where the font lookup is failing. Also, what platform and version of matplotlib are you running?

I think I'm using MPL .99.1 (is there a command to check?) on Windows XP.
Thanks for the debug tip, I don't think posting the whole thing is necessary
because this line seems to be the problem:
findfont: Could not match
:family=serif:style=normal:variant=normal:weight=normal:stretch=normal:size=12.0.
Returning
C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\fonts\ttf\Vera.ttf
So I guess the font's missing from the folder. Can I add it somehow?

It would still be helpful to see the whole listing (send it to me offlist) because that will indicate where fonts are being looked for, and hopefully *why* this is failing.
It should search for fonts in the standard Windows location (usually C:\Windows\Fonts). Have you tried setting font.family to "New Century Schoolbook" directly? (I wonder if the secondary lookup is failing).
Cheers,
Mike

Ah ok, I've sent it on to you. I've just tried setting font.family to "New
Century Schoolbook" directly but it generates something similar. I'm
starting to think part of the problem is that I've set the home directory to
U: somehow, U: being a shared drive which doesn't have a font directory...
I don't know how I set this, it's not mentioned in the rc file anywhere that
I can see...

For the benefit of future users Googling this problem -->
After an off-list discussion, we realized there were a couple of fonts on Alex' system with the names "Century Schoolbook" and "New Century Schoolbook LT Std". Using one of those names instead resolved the problem.
