Change in default font
2+
----------------------
3+
4+
The default font used by matplotlib in text has been changed to DejaVu Sans and
5+
DejaVu Serif for the sans-serif and serif families, respectively. The DejaVu
6+
font family is based on the previous matplotlib default --Bitstream Vera-- but
7+
include a much wider range of characters.
8+
9+
The default mathtext fonts has been changed from Computer Modern to the DejaVu
10+
family to maintain consistency with regular text. Two new options for the
11+
``mathtext.fontset`` configuration parameter have been added: ``dejavusans``
12+
(default) and ``dejavuserif``. Both of these options use DejaVu glyphs whenever
13+
possible and fall back to STIX symbols when a glyph is not found in DejaVu.
