Tracked this one down.  Apparently the latest version of GTK for
windows does different font aliasing.  This is controlled by the file

c:\gtk\etc\pango\pango.aliases

Try adding the line:

times = "times new roman,angsana new,mingliu,simsun,gulimche,ms gothic,latha,mangal,code2000"

If you get other font messages, adding more font aliases to this file
may help.

I'm making some changes in the gtk backend - mapping times -> serif,
so in the next release of matplotlib this should be fixed
automagically.
