Re: [Matplotlib-users] display multi languages in a string.

[Michael D. <md...@st...>]

That is correct.  Matplotlib doesn't have font substitution support -- 
it only ever uses a single font for each text object.  You will need to 
use separate text objects to do this kind of multi-lingual text, unless 
you can find a single font with all of the glyphs.
