To load a .ttf file in Matplotlib using mpl.rcParams, we can take the following steps −
- Set the figure size and adjust the padding between and around the subplots.
- Initialize the path for the .ttf file.
- Get an instance of a class for storing and manipulating the font properties.
- Set the font family with the name of the font that best matches the font properties.
- Create a figure and a set of subplots.
- Set the title of the figure.
- To display the figure, use show() method.
Example
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt, font_manager as fm plt.rcParams["figure.figsize"] = [7.50, 3.50] plt.rcParams["figure.autolayout"] = True path = '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/malayalam/Karumbi.ttf' fprop = fm.FontProperties(fname=path) plt.rcParams['font.family'] = fprop.get_name() fig, ax = plt.subplots() ax.set_title('This is my title!', size=40) plt.show()
