title: How to change fonts in matplotlib (python)?
body: <p>It sounds as an easy problem but I do not find any effective solution to change the font (not the font size) in a plot made with matplotlib in python.</p>
  
  <p>I found a couple of tutorials to change the default font of matplotlib by modifying some files in the folders where matplotlib stores its default font - see <a href="http://blog.olgabotvinnik.com/post/35807476900/how-to-set-helvetica-as-the-default-sans-serif-font-in" rel="noreferrer">this blog post</a> - but I am looking for a less radical solution since I would like to use more than one font in my plot (text, label, axis label, etc).</p>
