Assuming that the matplotlibrc file being read is in mpl-data, here is the
relevant section:
### FONT
#
# font properties used by text.Text. See
# http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/font_manager_api.html for more
# information on font properties. The 6 font properties used for font
# matching are given below with their default values.
#
# The font.family property has five values: 'serif' (e.g. Times),
# 'sans-serif' (e.g. Helvetica), 'cursive' (e.g. Zapf-Chancery),
# 'fantasy' (e.g. Western), and 'monospace' (e.g. Courier). Each of
# these font families has a default list of font names in decreasing
# order of priority associated with them.
#
# The font.style property has three values: normal (or roman), italic
# or oblique. The oblique style will be used for italic, if it is not
# present.
#
# The font.variant property has two values: normal or small-caps. For
# TrueType fonts, which are scalable fonts, small-caps is equivalent
# to using a font size of 'smaller', or about 83% of the current font
# size.
#
# The font.weight property has effectively 13 values: normal, bold,
# bolder, lighter, 100, 200, 300, ..., 900. Normal is the same as
# 400, and bold is 700. bolder and lighter are relative values with
# respect to the current weight.
#
# The font.stretch property has 11 values: ultra-condensed,
# extra-condensed, condensed, semi-condensed, normal, semi-expanded,
# expanded, extra-expanded, ultra-expanded, wider, and narrower. This
# property is not currently implemented.
#
# The font.size property is the default font size for text, given in pts.
# 12pt is the standard value.
#
#font.family : sans-serif
#font.style : normal
#font.variant : normal
#font.weight : medium
#font.stretch : normal
# note that font.size controls default text sizes. To configure
# special text sizes tick labels, axes, labels, title, etc, see the rc
# settings for axes and ticks. Special text sizes can be defined
# relative to font.size, using the following values: xx-small, x-small,
# small, medium, large, x-large, xx-large, larger, or smaller
#font.size : 12.0
#font.serif : Bitstream Vera Serif, New Century Schoolbook, Century
Schoolbook L, Utopia, ITC Bookman, Bookman, Nimbus Roman No9 L, Times New
Roman, Times, Palatino, Charter, serif
#font.sans-serif : Bitstream Vera Sans, Lucida Grande, Verdana, Geneva,
Lucid, Arial, Helvetica, Avant Garde, sans-serif
#font.cursive : Apple Chancery, Textile, Zapf Chancery, Sand, cursive
#font.fantasy : Comic Sans MS, Chicago, Charcoal, Impact, Western,
fantasy
#font.monospace : Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Andale Mono, Nimbus Mono L,
Courier New, Courier, Fixed, Terminal, monospace
### TEXT
# text properties used by text.Text. See
#
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/api/artist_api.html#module-matplotlib.textfor
more
# information on text properties
#text.color : black
### LaTeX customizations. See
http://www.scipy.org/Wiki/Cookbook/Matplotlib/UsingTex
#text.usetex : False # use latex for all text handling. The
following fonts
# are supported through the usual rc parameter
settings:
# new century schoolbook, bookman, times,
palatino,
# zapf chancery, charter, serif, sans-serif,
helvetica,
# avant garde, courier, monospace, computer
modern roman,
# computer modern sans serif, computer modern
typewriter
# If another font is desired which can loaded
using the
# LaTeX \usepackage command, please inquire at
the
# matplotlib mailing list
#text.latex.unicode : False # use "ucs" and "inputenc" LaTeX packages for
handling
# unicode strings.
#text.latex.preamble : # IMPROPER USE OF THIS FEATURE WILL LEAD TO LATEX
FAILURES
# AND IS THEREFORE UNSUPPORTED. PLEASE DO NOT
ASK FOR HELP
# IF THIS FEATURE DOES NOT DO WHAT YOU EXPECT IT
TO.
# preamble is a comma separated list of LaTeX
statements
# that are included in the LaTeX document
preamble.
# An example:
# text.latex.preamble :
\usepackage{bm},\usepackage{euler}
# The following packages are always loaded with
usetex, so
# beware of package collisions: color, geometry,
graphicx,
# type1cm, textcomp. Adobe Postscript (PSSNFS)
font packages
# may also be loaded, depending on your font
settings
#text.dvipnghack : None # some versions of dvipng don't handle alpha
# channel properly. Use True to correct
# and flush ~/.matplotlib/tex.cache
# before testing and False to force
# correction off. None will try and
# guess based on your dvipng version
#text.markup : 'plain' # Affects how text, such as titles and
labels, are
# interpreted by default.
# 'plain': As plain, unformatted text
# 'tex': As TeX-like text. Text between $'s will be
# formatted as a TeX math expression.
# This setting has no effect when text.usetex is True.
# In that case, all text will be sent to TeX for
# processing.
# The following settings allow you to select the fonts in math mode.
# They map from a TeX font name to a fontconfig font pattern.
# These settings are only used if mathtext.fontset is 'custom'.
# Note that this "custom" mode is unsupported and may go away in the
# future.
#mathtext.cal : cursive
#mathtext.rm : serif
#mathtext.tt : monospace
#mathtext.it : serif:italic
#mathtext.bf : serif:bold
#mathtext.sf : sans
#mathtext.fontset : cm # Should be 'cm' (Computer Modern), 'stix',
# 'stixsans' or 'custom'
#mathtext.fallback_to_cm : True # When True, use symbols from the Computer
Modern
# fonts when a symbol can not be found in one of
# the custom math fonts.
#mathtext.default : it # The default font to use for math.
# Can be any of the LaTeX font names, including
# the special name "regular" for the same font
# used in regular text.
