Hi all,
I'm adding some text to a plt like this:
import mapplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig=plt.figure()
plt.text(0.5,0.5,"some text", variant='small-caps')
but the text that is plotted is not small caps, its just normal. Is
this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

That will only work if you have a small-caps variant of the font installed (which the vast majority of fonts do not). matplotlib does not do any font synthesis at all -- i.e. it does not create a pseudo font variation when one does not exist on disk.
