Not sure -- maybe matplotlib is not finding your fonts.  Have you seen
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/fonts.html which gives some info
about setting font paths.  I suggest removing your matplotlib
generated font cache (~/.matplotlib/ttffont.cache) and then rerunning
your script with the --verbose-debug flag to see what fonts it's
looking for, finding and using.
