Description
The set_fontproperties method of Text copies the FontProperties instance:
if is_string_like(fp):
fp = FontProperties(fp)
self._fontproperties = fp.copy()
this prevents doing stuff like:
fnt = FontProperties(family = 'Arial', size = 12)
# Make titles share the same font properties
axes.set_xlabel('xlabel', fontproperties = fnt)
axes.set_ylabel('ylabel', fontproperties = fnt)
axes.set_title('Title', fontproperties = fnt)]
# But a change in the font object is not reflected in the text properties..
fnt.set_family('Times New Roman')
fnt.set_size(14)
Ideally, I would have the fontproperties attribute of Text be a reference to a FontProperties instance and leave it up to the user to decide whether they need a copy or not?
