It seems that changing rcParams is not effective because of the way
how the font caching is done. Here is a little monkey patching to
change this behavior.
from matplotlib.font_manager import FontProperties
def my_hash(self):
l = dict([(k, getattr(self, "get" + k)()) for k in self.__dict__])
return hash(repr(l))
FontProperties.__hash__ = my_hash
With this code, changing rcParams will affect (most of) the text in the figure.
As far as I know, you cannot have a default font properties on per
axes basis. You need to manually change the font properties of Text
artists in your interests.
For example, to change the font properties of the xtick labels,
fp = FontProperties(family="Lucida Sans Typewriter")
ax = gca()
for t in ax.get_xticklabels():
t.set_fontproperties(fp)

I don't think there is a smart way to prevent it other than manually
changing the tick positions. Other may have better ideas.
