Re: [Matplotlib-users] Change Font Properties of Annotations

Can you add the following to the top of your script:

import matplotlib
matplotlib.rcParams['verbose.level'] = 'debug-annoying'

and send the output here?

Most likely the font matching is failing on some other property (e.g. 
Tahoma) and reverting to the default font, which is non-bold.  I don't 
have the Microsoft fonts installed here, so I can't test whether there's 
something in particular about them that is causing this failure.

Cheers,
Mike
