I tried both of those and just tried them again and neither work for me:
In [2]: rcParams['font.family'] = 'serif'
In [3]: rcParams['font.serif'] = ['Times New Roman']
In [4]: plot([0,1,2])
Out[4]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x62d69d0>]
In [5]:
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py:1242:
UserWarning: findfont: Font family ['serif'] not found. Falling back to
Bitstream Vera Sans
(prop.get_family(), self.defaultFamily[fontext]))
In [7]: rcParams['font.family'] = 'Times New Roman'
In [8]: plot([0,1,2])
Out[8]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x62ff210>]
In [9]:
/usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py:1242:
UserWarning: findfont: Font family ['Times New Roman'] not found.
Falling back to Bitstream Vera Sans
(prop.get_family(), self.defaultFamily[fontext]))
What is it that tells the font_manager where to look?
