Question

此代码

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from matplotlib import rcParams

rcParams.update({
    'font.family':'sans-serif',
    'font.sans-serif':['Helvetica'],
    })

fig, ax = plt.subplots()
im = ax.matshow(np.random.rand(16,16))

plt.show()

给了我以下警告：

/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py:1288: UserWarning: 
findfont: Font family [u'sans-serif'] not found. Falling back to Bitstream Vera Sans
(prop.get_family(), self.defaultFamily[fontext]))

我已经检查过并且安装了Helvetica：

我也看过this post，我已多次删除fontList.cache，但无济于事。

如何将字体更改为Helvetica？

Answer 1

显然这是因为我的字体是.pcf，你需要.ttf才能真正用它们写字。由于许可问题，至少在Gentoo下，包管理器没有Helvetica可用。

我的解决方案是安装media-fonts/liberation-fonts这是解放字体的Gentoo包。解放Sans是Helvetica的一个相当不错的替身。

以下代码段基本上修复了我的示例：

rcParams.update({
    'font.family':'sans-serif',
    'font.sans-serif':['Liberation Sans'],
    })

Answer 2

安装正确的ttf字体后，切记编辑anaconda3 / lib / python3.7 / site-packages / matplotlib / mpl-data / matplotlibrc（或您环境中的类似文件）。查找无衬线。取消注释此行，然后保存更改。

Matplotlib找不到sans-serif家族
