0.90 had a number of issues where it was way too strict in what it would
consider a font match -- so it may be that it is rejecting Times New
Roman because the numerical weight isn't an exact match, or something
like that.
In any case, it should be able to match against the serif font included
in matplotlib -- that's still a bit of a puzzle.
You can try removing your font cache file (which will force it to
regenerate), which in Windows (I believe) is in c:\Documents and
Settings\<user>\.matplotlib\ttffont.cache . If that doesn't work, can
you send me that file (off-list) -- then I can see what fonts it thinks
you have.
Cheers,
Mike
