That is correct. Matplotlib doesn't have font substitution support -- it only ever uses a single font for each text object. You will need to use separate text objects to do this kind of multi-lingual text, unless you can find a single font with all of the glyphs.

i get matplotlib from Sourceforge ,it's matplotlib-1.0.0.win32-py2.6.exe
OS:Win7

ActivePython-2.6.6.15-win32-x86.msi
here is the code:

    # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    plt.figure(figsize=(8,4))
    a = plt.text(0.05, 0.05, u"Default Font缺省字体조선어にほんごภาษา
    ไทย")#multi language ,some cann't display
    plt.text(0.05, 0.45, u"Microsoft YaHei微软雅黑",
    fontproperties='Microsoft YaHei')#Chinese OK
    plt.text(0.05, 0.25, u"LilyUPCภาษาไทย",
    fontproperties='LilyUPC')#Tai OK
    plt.xlabel(u"xlabelにほん ご",fontproperties='STXihei')#Japanese ,OK
    plt.ylabel(u"ylabel조선 어",fontproperties='Malgun Gothic')#Korea,OK
    plt.show()


C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\matplotlib\mpl-data\matplotlibrc:



font.family : sans-serif
font.sans-serif : Microsoft YaHei,Malgun Gothic,LilyUPC,FangSong,YouYuan,SimHei,STKaiti,STSong,SimSun-ExtB,Webdings,Bitstream Vera Sans, Lucida Grande, Verdana, Geneva, Lucid, Arial, Helvetica, Avant Garde, sans-serif

it seems if a default font doesn't have all char's in the "Default Font缺省字体조선어にほんごภาษาไทย" string,it won't display correctly.
