Hi,
I've tried to set the size of the main font by doing:
import matplotlib.pyplot as pyplot
font = {'size' : 'larger'}
pyplot.rc('font', **font)
as indicated in
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/pyplot_api.html#matplotlib.pyplot.rc
It failed with:
raise ValueError('Could not convert "%s" to float' % s)
ValueError: Could not convert "larger" to float
I'm using Matplotlib 0.99.1.2.

The error is the 'size':'larger', not the passing as keyword arguments. Maybe
you try to stick (as "workaround") with a fixed number, like 'size':12
It's located in matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/rcsetup.py
def validate_float(s):
'convert s to float or raise'
try: return float(s)
except ValueError:
raise ValueError('Could not convert "%s" to float' % s)
-> conversion of 'larger' to float fails, I don't know, maybe this should go
through "validate_fontsize" instead of "validate_float"? Or, if failed in
validate_floats, to validate_fontsize? Like
def validate_float(s):
'convert s to float or raise'
try: return float(s) or validate_fontsize()
except ValueError:
raise ValueError('Could not convert "%s" to float' % s)

Indeed, with a fixed value, I could bypass this, but the main issue is
that the documentation says that it should work (xx-small, x-small,
small, medium, large, ... although I don't know if it should be
larger, as indicated in rc() doc, or large as indicated in the font
size doc IIRC).
