All,
I just submitted bug #2963827 detailing this, but thought
that I would echo the problem here…
When plotting annotations and specifying the FontProperties
to use, the specified values are completely ignored. See the attached script
and image for an example. Am I doing something inherently wrong, or is this
really a bug?
Thanks,

Do you have fonts whose family name is "sans serif"?
Maybe you meant "sans-serif"?
"sans-serif" searches for fonts whose family name is in
rcParams["font.sans-serif"], but "sans serif" only search for "sans
serif".
I don't think it has anything to do with annotation.
Check if findfont gives you a correct font.
Please report back with matplotlib version etc., if findfont finds a
correct font but annotation still shows with a wrong font.
Regards,

import matplotlib.font_manager
fm = matplotlib.font_manager.fontManager
print matplotlib.font_manager.findfont(normalFont)

It should also be noted that attributes like "weight" and "stretch" are only hints for the purpose of finding a font. That is, if you request a bold version of a font, and it does not exist, the closest matching font will be used instead. matplotlib (more specifically freetype) does not do "font synthesis" to generate a pseudo-bold font or pseudo-compressed font if one can not be found. So for example, the "condensedFont" set of properties you defined will not return a condensed font unless such a font exists on your system.
