[Matplotlib-users] all fonts to sans-serif?

[Christian M. <mee...@im...>]

Hi,

I'd like to have all sub-fonts (labels, tick labels, text) sans-serif
for a series of plots per default. However the appropriate settings
in .matplotlibrc apparently don't work and this also does not work:

import matplotlib as mpl
mpl.rcParams['text.usetex'] = True
mpl.rcParams['font.family'] = 'sans-serif'
mpl.rcParams['font.sans-serif'] = 'Bitstream Vera Sans'

Any ideas?

TIA
Christian
