To get a list of all the fonts currently available for matplotlib, we can use the font_manager. findSystemFonts() method.
Matplotlib can use font families installed on the user's computer, i.e. Helvetica, Times, etc. Font families can also be specified with generic-family aliases like ( {'cursive', 'fantasy', 'monospace', 'sans', 'sans serif', 'sans-serif', 'serif'} ).
There are five major generic font families in Matplotlib: 'serif' : Serifs are small decorative flourishes attached to stroke ends of characters. Fonts such as Times New Roman, Century, Garamond, and Palatino are serif fonts. 'sans-serif' : This means without serif.
Try following:
>>> import matplotlib.font_manager
>>> [f.name for f in matplotlib.font_manager.fontManager.ttflist]
['cmb10', 'cmex10', 'STIXNonUnicode', 'STIXNonUnicode', 'STIXSizeThreeSym', 'STIXSizeTwoSym', 'cmtt10', 'STIXGeneral', 'STIXSizeThreeSym', 'STIXSizeFiveSym', 'STIXSizeOneSym', 'STIXGeneral', 'cmr10', 'STIXSizeTwoSym', ...]
>>> [f.name for f in matplotlib.font_manager.fontManager.afmlist]
['Helvetica', 'ITC Zapf Chancery', 'Palatino', 'Utopia', 'Helvetica', 'Helvetica', 'ITC Bookman', 'Courier', 'Helvetica', 'Times', 'Courier', 'Helvetica', 'Utopia', 'New Century Schoolbook', ...]
