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',
 ...]
