Do you have Arial installed? (I see you are on Linux, so it's unlikely to have been installed by default -- that font is shipped with Windows and copyright Microsoft). If it is installed, you may need to clear your matplotlib font cache in ~/.matplotlib/fontList.cache.

Friends,
The journal in which i am planning to send my paper says that the figure and panel labels should be in 'ARIAL' bold.

When i try to set the font as arial, i get a warning message. Someone kindly let me know what is the appropriate setting to get the font arial bold.
