Dear Jiri,

from the matplotlibrc file:

...
font.serif : New Century Schoolbook, Century Schoolbook L,
Utopia, ITC Bookman, Bookman, Bitstream Vera Serif, Nimbus Roman No9 L,
Times New Roman, Times, Palatino, Charter, serif
font.sans-serif : Lucida Grande, Verdana, Geneva, Lucida, Bitstream
Vera Sans, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
font.cursive : Apple Chancery, Textile, Zapf Chancery, Sand,
cursive
font.fantasy : Comic Sans MS, Chicago, Charcoal, Impact, Western,
fantasy
font.monospace : Andale Mono, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Nimbus Mono
L, Courier New, Courier, Fixed, Terminal, monospace
font.latex.package : type1cm # This must be an available LaTeX font
#package, like 'times' or 'pslatex' ; only applies if text.usetex is set

### TEXT
# text properties used by text.Text. See
# http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/matplotlib.text.html for more
# information on text properties
text.color : black
text.usetex : False # use tex/latex for all text handling. See
http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlib.texmanager.html
text.tex.engine : latex # tex is faster, but latex is required to
use special font packages
...

Ok, so let's try: 'Time'

Alternatively,

set:

font.latex.package : times # This must be an available LaTeX font
text.usetex : True # use tex/latex for all text handling. See
http://matplotlib.sf.net/matplotlib.texmanager.html
text.tex.engine : latex # tex is faster, but latex is required to
use special font packages

PS: Remember to "flush" ...\.matplotlib\tex.cache between font changes

Hope it works,

Regards,

Peter-Jan
