The error is the 'size':'larger', not the passing as keyword arguments. Maybe 
you try to stick (as "workaround") with a fixed number, like  'size':12 

It's located in matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/rcsetup.py

def validate_float(s):
    'convert s to float or raise'
    try: return float(s)
    except ValueError:
        raise ValueError('Could not convert "%s" to float' % s)

-> conversion of 'larger' to float fails, I don't know, maybe this should go 
through "validate_fontsize" instead of "validate_float"? Or, if failed in 
validate_floats, to validate_fontsize? Like


def validate_float(s):
    'convert s to float or raise'
    try: return float(s) or validate_fontsize()
    except ValueError:
        raise ValueError('Could not convert "%s" to float' % s)
