Have you read this page: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/fonts.html ?

If not, then a brief summary is: You should be able set the default font in
your matplotlibrc file. If you want the labels to be different than the res=
t
of the plot, then you'll need to create a FontProperties object and pass it
to the axes.set_xlabel() method before plotting, i.e.

> myaxes =3D plot(...)
> myfont =3D FontProperties(fontfamily=3D'sanserif')
> myaxes.set_label('my text', fontdict=3Dmyfont)
> plot(...)

See also the font_properties_demo.py
