You guessed correct as to what x and y need to be. In order to produce a plot, there's a missing call to plt.plot() at the end. A short working example is -- import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.text(0.5, 0.5, "Привет!") plt.show() -- The problem actually isn't missing fonts.

You need to change matplotlib's font to one that includes the desired characters. For example like this: import matplotlib import matplotlib.pyplot as plt matplotlib.rc("font", family="DejaVu Sans") plt.text(0.5,0.5,'Привет!') plt.show()
