It should also be noted that attributes like "weight" and "stretch" are only hints for the purpose of finding a font. That is, if you request a bold version of a font, and it does not exist, the closest matching font will be used instead. matplotlib (more specifically freetype) does not do "font synthesis" to generate a pseudo-bold font or pseudo-compressed font if one can not be found. So for example, the "condensedFont" set of properties you defined will not return a condensed font unless such a font exists on your system.
