Dear Buz,
You could try with the MacOSX native backend:
>>> import matplotlib
>>> matplotlib.use("MacOSX")
>>> from pylab import *
>>> text(0.2,0.2,"some text",fontname='Times-Roman')
>>> text(0.2,0.7,"some other text",fontname='Helvetica')
I'm not sure if the MacOSX native backend is included in fink's distribution,
though.
