Bug report
Bug summary
Matplotlib cannot seem to find any of its own fonts on my Scientific Linux system - I get all sorts of warnings like "Font family ['STIXNonUnicode'] not found" and "findfont: Could not match :family=DejaVu Sans:style=normal:variant=normal:weight=normal:stretch=normal:size=10.0. Returning /usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono-Oblique.ttf".
Code for reproduction
- A minimum code snippet required to reproduce the bug, also minimizing the number of dependencies required
#!/usr/bin/env pythonimportmatplotlibmatplotlib.use('Agg')frommatplotlibimportpyplotaspltimportnumpyasnpif__name__=='__main__':x=np.linspace(0.0,5.0,100)y=np.cos(2*np.pi*x)*np.exp(-x)plt.plot(x,y,'k')plt.title('Damped exponential decay')#plt.text(2, 0.65, r'$\cos(2 \pi t) \exp(-t)$', fontname='DejaVu Sans')plt.text(2,0.65,r'$\cos(2 \pi t) \exp(-t)$')plt.xlabel('time (s)')plt.ylabel('voltage (mV)')plt.savefig('output.png')
Actual outcome
- The output produced by the above code, which may be a screenshot, console output, etc.

On my Mac, there are no warnings.
Matplotlib version
matplotlib.version => '2.0.0'
Python 3.6.1 | packaged by conda-forge | (default, Mar 23 2017, 21:05:12)
Linux localhost 3.10.0-514.10.2.el7.x86_64#1 SMP Thu Mar 2 11:21:24 CST 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Scientific Linux release 7.3 (Nitrogen)
Python and matplotlib were both installed using conda from conda-forge.
Also, I have made NO customizations in any matplotlibrc files, and there are no files under ~/.config/matplotlib.
The actual problem caused by all of this is of course in a much more complicated application, where a map I'm making has the wrong font (italicized, at that) in it when created on Linux.
Incidentally, I couldreally use a workaround, as I was hoping to deploy some code on Linux this week. Is there a way to tell matplotlib (perhaps in a matplotlibrc file) where to find the true type fonts that are included with the distribution?
