I doubt that "Tahoma" is the filename, which is what the fname
argument is looking for. You need to pass a full path (eg a file
ending in .ttf' if you want to explicitly set the font. Eg::
import matplotlib.font_manager as fm
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot([1,2,3], label='test')
ax.legend(prop=fm.FontProperties(fname='c:/windows/fonts/tahoma.ttf'))
plt.show()
But usually you would rather set the font family properties globally,
for example using the rc params setting as in the following::
from matplotlib import rcParams
rcParams['font.sans-serif'] = ['Tahoma']
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111)
ax.plot([1,2,3], label='test')
ax.legend()
plt.show()
When you run the scripts, you can pass --verbose-debug to the command
line to get additional information about what fonts are being loaded,
eg
C:\> c:/python25/python font_family.py --verbose-debug
