Not sure if this is your issue but I had problems with fonts until I
uncommented the RC file in the fonts section of it. Matplotlib ships with
the RC commented out. The file matplotlibrc is found in the
matplotlib\mpl-data folder. You can just edit it with Notepad and uncomment
the lines regarding fonts and try it again.
