Most likely, you need to clear out matplotlib's font cache. How to do that for
windows, I don't know, but for Linux, it is as simple as "rm
~/.matplotlib/fontList.cache". Maybe there is a similar file somewhere on your
system. After getting rid of that file, at the next import of matplotlib, it
will recognize that that file is gone and rebuild it.
Cheers!
