How to change the font of figures to be the "Times New Roman"?

[Ren]

Hi,

 

I just wonder how to change the font of figures to be the "Times New Roman". I have tried some methods.

But it does not work.  I think should modify setplot.py. I have added these words in setplot.py. But it do not make

the right things.

 

import matplotlib as mpl

mpl.rc('font',family='Times New Roman') 

 

 

Please give some advice. Many thanks.

You need to execute that before matplotlib.pyplot is imported. Beyond that your approach should work.

Hi, Kyle,

 

I have tried this method. But results mean it has been changed to be Bitstream Vera Sans with the following warning words, maybe cmb10.ttf of matplotlib. The results are shown in Fig.1.

 

/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/matplotlib/font_manager.py:1236: UserWarning: findfont: Font family ['Times New Roman'] not found. Falling back to Bitstream Vera Sans
  (prop.get_family(), self.defaultFamily[fontext]))
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/matplotlib/font_manager.py:1246: UserWarning: findfont: Could not match :family=Bitstream Vera Sans:style=normal:variant=normal:weight=normal:stretch=normal:size=15.0. Returning /usr/share/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf/cmb10.ttf

  UserWarning)

 

 

 

Next, I have tried cmr10.ttf, while the results are shown in Fig.2. The font looks like Times New Roman. Maybe it is one of the solutions. However,

the minus sign can not show in the figure.

 

Hope for discussion.

Hi Zhiyuan,

As this appears to be a problem with your fonts and matplotlib I don’t think we are going to be much help to you. If you are still having problems I would look at the matplotlib mailing list for a solution.
