Custom fonts in Google Colaboratory matplotlib charts

问题

Using custom fonts in matplotlib locally involves storing the .ttfs in the matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf/ folder, then calling mpl.font_manager._rebuild(), then setting mpl.rcParams['font.sans-serif'].

Is there any way to do this in Google Colaboratory, where it doesn't seem that this ttf folder is accessible?

For example, I'd like to use the Roboto font. After installing, this would be invoked using mpl.rcParams['font.sans-serif'] = 'Roboto'.

回答1:

The ttf folder is here:

/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf

So you want to download the ttf there, e.g.:

!wget https://github.com/Phonbopit/sarabun-webfont/raw/master/fonts/thsarabunnew-webfont.ttf -P /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/fonts/ttf

matplotlib.font_manager._rebuild()
matplotlib.rc('font', family='TH Sarabun New')
