Re: [Matplotlib-users] Russian labels without LaTeX

[Jae-Joon L. <lee...@gm...>]

I'm not an expert on this issue, and I never used Russian language.
But here is my experience with unicode in matplotlib.

Matplotlib's own font rendering engine (based on truetype)  does
support unicode rendering. But I don't think there is any support for
things like a fontset. And, as far as you specify the font file to be
used, you can draw unicode text.
Here is an example (this is to draw some Korean text). Modify this for
your need.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.rcParams["text.usetex"] = False
import matplotlib.font_manager as fm
fp1=fm.FontProperties(fname="/users/research/lee/.fonts/Eunjin.ttf")

plt.text(0.5, 0.5, u"한글", fontproperties=fp1)
plt.show()
