====================
Using ttf font files
====================
Although it is usually not a good idea to explicitly point to a single ttf file
for a font instance, you can do so by passing a `pathlib.Path` instance as the
*font* parameter. Note that passing paths as `str`\s is intentionally not
supported, but you can simply wrap `str`\s in `pathlib.Path`\s as needed.
Here, we use the Computer Modern roman font (``cmr10``) shipped with
Matplotlib.
For a more flexible solution, see
:doc:`/gallery/text_labels_and_annotations/font_family_rc` and
:doc:`/gallery/text_labels_and_annotations/fonts_demo`.
"""
from pathlib import Path
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib as mpl
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
fpath = Path(mpl.get_data_path(), "fonts/ttf/cmr10.ttf")
ax.set_title(f'This is a special font: {fpath.name}', font=fpath)
ax.set_xlabel('This is the default font')
plt.show()
