There is a very good way to use otf and ttf fonts in LaTeX and matplotlib, which you might like: http://matplotlib.org/users/pgf.html With this method you can use LuaLaTeX, or XeLaTeX, both of which have options to load OTF or TTF fonts. This would be done via the LaTeX preamble in the .matplotlibrc file, which might be storred in the home directory on your Mac (just a guess, since I do not normally use matplotlib with a Mac). This might be a bit of a steep learning curve if you haven't done anything more serious with matplotlib, but you won't have to install the fonts, which, I must agree, *is* painful.
