Put the font somewhere in your font search path. (Where that would be depends on your platform, but for user-local fonts, use "~/.fonts" on Linux, "~/Library/Fonts" on OS-X, I don't recall on Windows, but Googling should give you something). You will need to delete the matplotlib font cache so that it will discover new fonts. This lives in "~/.matplotlib/fontList.cache" on Unix platforms. Then you can change the default font family by setting the "font.family" rcParam to the name of the font.
Note that matplotlib does not support all of the features of otf fonts, like glyph substitution etc. -- it really only uses the basic "TrueType-like" parts of the font file. > If not directly, perhaps via XeTeX? > This is another avenue, and has the potential to use the advanced features of otf. I've never attempted this myself, but perhaps one of the other users on this list who uses usetex more often can comment.
