I tried both of those and just tried them again and neither work for me: In [2]: rcParams['font.family'] = 'serif' In [3]: rcParams['font.serif'] = ['Times New Roman'] In [4]: plot([0,1,2]) Out[4]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x62d69d0>] In [5]: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py:1242: UserWarning: findfont: Font family ['serif'] not found. Falling back to Bitstream Vera Sans (prop.get_family(), self.defaultFamily[fontext])) In [7]: rcParams['font.family'] = 'Times New Roman' In [8]: plot([0,1,2]) Out[8]: [<matplotlib.lines.Line2D object at 0x62ff210>] In [9]: /usr/local/lib/python2.6/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py:1242: UserWarning: findfont: Font family ['Times New Roman'] not found. Falling back to Bitstream Vera Sans (prop.get_family(), self.defaultFamily[fontext])) What is it that tells the font_manager where to look?
