Re: [Matplotlib-users] How to use full path of font inside matplotlibrc - Arial not loading
Thanks Benjamin!! In fact, this folder was inside .cache/matplotlib I have removed the entire content, and know matplotlib seems to recognize Arial font. Cheers, Arnaldo -- New Year. New Location.

Re: [Matplotlib-users] How to use full path of font inside matplotlibrc - Arial not loading
You might need to delete the font cache (usually in ~/.matplotlib). Fonts installed after matplotlib is first used are often never recognized.

Even I have the same problem. The fonts are installed on my system, but matplotlib does not load them.
