Bug summary
I have installed the font Inter with brew install font-inter and successfully imported it into matplotlib such that the figure from the plot below displays correctly with the Inter font as specified; however, when it comes to saving, I get the error below in "actual outcome".
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.font_manager as fm
matplotlib.use("QtAgg")
# Ensure 'Inter' is available
available_fonts = [f.name for f in fm.fontManager.ttflist]
if 'Inter' in available_fonts:
plt.rcParams['font.family'] = 'Inter'
else:
print("Inter font is not available. Please ensure it is installed.")
# generate a test plot and save it
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.plot([0, 1], [0, 1])
ax.set_title("Example Plot with Inter Font")
plt.show()
fig.savefig("example_plot.pdf", format='pdf')Actual outcome
