Dear Mailinglist, Today I tried to change the fontset to sans-serif for a whole plot. Everything except the ticks could be adjusted.
This is what I tried first: ******************************************************* ffont = {'size':'20','family':'sans-serif'} xticks(**ffont) ******************************************************* No change in the font family. But I can change the size without problems. I removed the ~/.matplotlib/FONTCACHE stuff as described here(2). Following (1) I tried again to change the font using ******************************************************* import pylab pylab.figure() ax = pylab.axes() ax.plot(pylab.arange(10)) xlabels = ax.get_xticklabels() xlabel0 = xlabels[0] # one of the xtick labels xlabel0.get_fontsize() xlabel0.set_fontsize(20) pylab.show() ******************************************************* Again nothing changed. Using ipython I got this: ******************************************************* In [192]: xlabels[0].get_fontname() Out[192]: 'Bitstream Vera Serif, New Century Schoolbook, serif' In [195]: xlabels[0].set_family("sans-serif") In [196]: xlabels[0].get_fontname() Out[196]: 'Bitstream Vera Sans, Lucida Grande, Verdana, sans-serif' In [197]: show() ******************************************************* Summary: It appears to me like I can change the default fontfamily, but somehow there is no change in the output. What could be the problem? Best regards: Gerolf (1) http://www.nabble.com/axes-numbers-font-size-td14459877.html (2) http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq.html#FONTMISSING -- Dipl. Phys.
