How to change fonts in matplotlib (python)?

Question

It sounds as an easy problem but I do not find any effective solution to change the font (not the font size) in a plot made with matplotlib in python.

Answer 1

Say you want Comic Sans for the title and Helvetica for the x label.

csfont = {'fontname':'Comic Sans MS'}
hfont = {'fontname':'Helvetica'}

plt.title('title',**csfont)
plt.xlabel('xlabel', **hfont)
plt.show()
