Try:

  prop = FontProperties( size="smaller" )


 From font_manager.py:

   size    - Either an absolute value of xx-small, x-small, small,
             medium, large, x-large, xx-large; or a relative value
             of smaller or larger; or an absolute font size, e.g. 12;
             or scalable.
