any way I don't want to use full path name in fname property.

    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    fig = plt.figure()
    ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
    ax.plot([1,2,3], label='test')

    ax.legend(prop=fm.FontProperties(fname='c:/windows/fonts/tahoma.ttf'))
    plt.show()

You can just do

ax.legend(prop=fm.FontProperties('Tahoma'))
