For ordinary text objects, one way is to set the font.family rcParam to the
font name.  You could do this either in a matplotlibrc file in an appropriate
location or in your code dynamically [1].  If you'll be using mathtext, also
see the "Fonts" section and "Custom fonts" subsection at [2]; for LaTeX, [3].
