Thread: [matplotlib-devel] stix fonts not found fedora 20

If I rely on the system version of matplotlib

python-matplotlib-1.3.0-1.fc20.x86_64

stix fonts are not found

/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py:1236: UserWarning: 
findfont: Font family ['STIXGeneral'] not found. Falling back to Bitstream Vera 
Sans
  (prop.get_family(), self.defaultFamily[fontext]))

No I do:

pip install --user --up matplotlib

And after rm ~/.matplotlib/fontList.cache  stix fonts are found.

Now I look in ~/.matplotlib/fontList.cache and I find

/home/nbecker/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-
data/fonts/ttf/STIXGeneralBol.ttf'

So it seems it now works because the font is now installed.

But I already had:

rpm -qa '*stix*'
stix-math-fonts-1.1.0-5.fc20.noarch
texlive-stix-svn29803.1.0-3.fc20.noarch
stix-fonts-1.1.0-5.fc20.noarch

rpm -ql texlive-stix
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/stix/STIXGeneral.otf
/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/opentype/public/stix/STIXGeneralBol.otf

So it seems, matplotlib requires .ttf format fonts?  Or perhaps the system 
didn't know how to find the fonts from texlive-stix package?

Yes.  matplotlib can not read the otf format fonts that are generally 
shipped as part of the STIX font packages.  You need the ones that come 
with matplotlib.
