When I change the value of weight, It does not work. \r\n\u003c!--A short 1-2 sentences that succinctly describes the bug--\u003e\r\n\r\n**Code for reproduction**\r\n\r\n\u003c!--A minimum code snippet required to reproduce the bug.\r\nPlease make sure to minimize the number of dependencies required, and provide\r\nany necessary plotted data.\r\nAvoid using threads, as Matplotlib is (explicitly) not thread-safe.--\u003e\r\nWhen I try this\r\n```python\r\nweights = ['light', 'normal', 'medium', 'semibold', 'bold', 'heavy', 'black']\r\naxis('off')\r\nfor i in enumerate(weights):\r\n    num,weight=i\r\n    text(0.5,0.2*num,u'ABC',fontdict={\r\n        'family':'KaiTi',\r\n        'weight':weight,\r\n        'size':30\r\n    })\r\n    text(0,0.2*num,u'哈哈哈',fontdict={\r\n        'family':'KaiTi',\r\n        'weight':weight,\r\n        'size':30\r\n    })\r\nshow()\r\n```\r\nThe results show it dose not work.\r\n\r\n\u003c!--The output produced by the above code, which may be a screenshot, console output, etc.--\u003e\r\n![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/44061416/67620420-3a830480-f839-11e9-9086-8efd461aeb87.png)\r\n\r\nAnd when I comment out this line of code\r\n```python\r\nweights = ['light', 'normal', 'medium', 'semibold', 'bold', 'heavy', 'black']\r\naxis('off')\r\nfor i in enumerate(weights):\r\n    num,weight=i\r\n    text(0.5,0.2*num,u'ABC',fontdict={\r\n        # 'family':'KaiTi',\r\n        'weight':weight,\r\n        'size':30\r\n    })\r\n    text(0,0.2*num,u'哈哈哈',fontdict={\r\n        # 'family':'KaiTi',\r\n        'weight':weight,\r\n        'size':30\r\n    })\r\nshow()\r\n```\r\n.........:(\r\n![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/44061416/67620466-d3198480-f839-11e9-8ec9-6e85bd96cde7.png)\r\n\r\nI guess maybe it doesn't support Chinese bold. :(\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Slime0","@type":"Person","name":"Slime0"},"datePublished":"2019-10-26T13:50:25.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":4},"url":"https://github.com/15529/matplotlib/issues/15529"}
