Quick Start
Install Google Fonts

# https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Lato?query=Lato
fk.install("Lato")
If the font does not available in matplotlib, this will download from Google and add it to matplotlib.
To check available styles for a font
fk.font_table("Lato")

plt.text("Lato Font", fontdict={"style": "italic", "weight": 700, "size": 24})

fk.install_fontawesome()
plt.text(.5, .5, "\uf58b\uf005\uf59b", fontfamily="Font Awesome 6 Free")

, the name of icon is encoded as unicode.
You can search for icons and get the unicode here.
Set a font globally
To set a font manually.
This will update the rcParams
for you.
import mpl_fontkit as fk
fk.set_font("Lato")
Most of the time when you can't get the font to work simply because the font name is not the same as the file name. You can just type a fuzzy name, we will try to find a similar name and show you in the error message.
import mpl_fontkit as fk
fk.set_font("Lat")
LookupError: Cannot find Lat, do you mean: Lato.
Use `.list_fonts()` to list all the available fonts.
Get available fonts
fk.list_fonts()
['Agency FB',
'Algerian',
'Arial',
'Arial Rounded MT Bold',
'Bahnschrift',
'Baskerville Old Face',
'Bauhaus 93',
...]
