# Fonts Demo Kw

Same as fonts_demo using kwargs. If you prefer a more pythonic, OO style of coding, see examples/fonts_demo.py.

    from matplotlib.font_manager import FontProperties
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    import numpy as np

    plt.subplot(111, facecolor='w')
    alignment = {'horizontalalignment': 'center', 'verticalalignment': 'baseline'}

    families = ['serif', 'sans-serif', 'cursive', 'fantasy', 'monospace']

    t = plt.text(-0.8, 0.9, 'family', size='large', **alignment)

    for k, family in enumerate(families):
        t = plt.text(-0.8, yp[k], family, family=family, **alignment)

    # Show style options

    styles = ['normal', 'italic', 'oblique']

    t = plt.text(-0.4, 0.9, 'style', **alignment)
