Have you tried setting the TTFPATH environment variable to the paths
where your other TTF fonts are located? It appears that the default
font paths that matplotlib uses are not the ones used by Ubuntu. It
might also be useful to print the FontManager.ttfdict attribute to see
what fonts have actually been found.
