It’s pretty easy to find someone online giving you a list of all of the fonts
available in matplotlib, but they’re always really ugly boring lists. This
gives you a list plus samples of each font. There might be issues about system
fonts vs. matplotlib fonts, but I haven’t noticed anything yet.
An attractive list all matplotlib fonts
You’ll need to run this code in your own Jupyter Notebook to get the fonts that will work on your own computer.
import matplotlib.font_manager
from IPython.core.display import HTML
def make_html(fontname):
return "<p>{font}: <span style='font-family:{font}; font-size: 24px;'>{font}</p>".format(font=fontname)
code = "\n".join([make_html(font) for font in sorted(set([f.name for f in matplotlib.font_manager.fontManager.ttflist]))])
HTML("<div style='column-count: 2;'>{}</div>".format(code)).Hiragino Kaku Gothic Interface: .Hiragino Kaku Gothic Interface
