When a font name is not recognized, the (pango or Qt) software library makes a best guess of the closest matching font.

So the font names "serif" and "sans" will give some serif font and sans serif font, respectively.

I would guess that "default" gives whatever you may have set as the default font to use on your system, but I am not sure of that.

Karl

Hi Ryo,
Yes, the Python libraries are determining that or getting it from your
system. Other ones to try,

yes? set text/font=serif
yes? set text/font=sans

for a serif or sans-serif font, without having to look up the names of
particular ones.

I don't know but I wonder if one were to set a default font for the
machine, if that's what's being used. I use Windows for displaying
plots and for Windows anyway setting the default font seems to be a bit
more complex than I want to try.
