if you use tex for rendering text, see

http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/users/usetex.html#usetex-with-unicode

If not, the best option I know of is to set the font name directly, see

http://old.nabble.com/Russian-labels-without-LaTeX-td24538302.html

Matplotlib does not support fontset, so you can only use glyphs in the
font you specified.
