i get matplotlib from Sourceforge ,it’s matplotlib-1.0.0.win32-py2.6.exe

OS:Win7

ActivePython-2.6.6.15-win32-x86.msi

here is the code:

-- coding: utf-8 --

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.figure(figsize=(8,4))

a = plt.text(0.05, 0.05, u"Default Font缺省字体조선어にほんごภาษาไทย")#multi language ,some cann’t display

plt.text(0.05, 0.45, u"Microsoft YaHei微软雅黑", fontproperties=‘Microsoft YaHei’)#Chinese OK

plt.text(0.05, 0.25, u"LilyUPCภาษาไทย", fontproperties=‘LilyUPC’)#Tai OK

plt.xlabel(u"xlabelにほんご",fontproperties=‘STXihei’)#Japanese ,OK

plt.ylabel(u"ylabel조선어",fontproperties=‘Malgun Gothic’)#Korea,OK

plt.show()

C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\matplotlibrc:

font.family : sans-serif
font.sans-serif : Microsoft YaHei,Malgun Gothic,LilyUPC,FangSong,YouYuan,SimHei,STKaiti,STSong,SimSun-ExtB,Webdings,Bitstream Vera Sans, Lucida Grande, Verdana, Geneva, Lucid, Arial, Helvetica, Avant Garde, sans-serif

it seems if a default font doesn’t have all char’s in the “Default Font缺省字体조선어にほんごภาษาไทย” string,it won’t display correctly.

Unfortunately, matplotlib does not support fontset, and only a single
font file can be used at a time.

If you need to to use multiple fonts within a single text string, the
only workaround I can think of is to use the offsetbox module to make
a text for each font and concatenate them. If you're interested, I'll
post the code.

That is correct. Matplotlib doesn’t have font substitution support
– it only ever uses a single font for each text object. You will
need to use separate text objects to do this kind of multi-lingual
text, unless you can find a single font with all of the glyphs.
