+You can explicitly set which font family is picked up for a given font
+style (eg 'serif', 'sans-serif', or 'monospace').
+
+In the example below, we only allow one font family (Tahoma) for the
+san-serif font style.  You the default family with the font.family rc
+param, eg::
+
+  rcParams['font.family'] = 'sans-serif'
+
+and for the font.family you set a list of font styles to try to find
+in order::
+
+  rcParams['font.sans-serif'] = ['Tahoma', 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'Lucida Grande', 'Verdana']

+Although it is usually not a good idea to explicitly point to a single

+font_manager.FontProperties fname argument (for a more flexible
+solution, see the font_fmaily_rc.py and fonts_demo.py examples).
