"""
You can explicitly set which font family is picked up for a given font
style (eg 'serif', 'sans-serif', or 'monospace').

In the example below, we only allow one font family (Tahoma) for the
san-serif font style.  You the default family with the font.family rc
param, eg::

  rcParams['font.family'] = 'sans-serif'

and for the font.family you set a list of font styles to try to find
in order::

  rcParams['font.sans-serif'] = ['Tahoma', 'Bitstream Vera Sans', 'Lucida Grande', 'Verdana']
