I'm not sure I'll ever really understand Matplotlib. Why I had to do this,
I don't really know. It's hard to spec out projects when you think that
setting the font on some text should take no time at all, but it takes hours
due to stupid complexities.
Rant over, here's what I did
pyplot.yticks((70,80,90,100),
color="#8c949d",horizontalalignment='right',fontproperties=fprop2 )
ax.set_yticklabels(('70%','80%','90%','100%'),color="#8c949d",horizontalalignment='right')
The first line doesn't specify the labels, this works in that it puts 70 80
90 100 as labels, but with correct color and font.
The second line sets the label text, but not the font or color.
This seems to work.
