Hi Mike,
It's matplotlib 0.90.1.0003, and it does not seem to matter which
backend I am using. All backends available on my machine give me a
sans-serif font, with the exception of WX, which gives me a serif
font. I've attached the debug output to this email. It looks like
findfont is failing to find the requested serif fonts so it is
returning the default font. I'm not sure why this would be the case
as I know I have Times New Roman (times.ttf) in my c:\windows\fonts
folder.
I looked through the matplotlib docs and it says that findfont should
be able to find the fonts if they are in system default locations, so
I'm a bit stumped as to what to do now.
Thanks!
Orest
