It would be nice if this tutorial, or another, indicated how to get that list of available fonts, and then specfically how to specify them in `fontfamily`.  I tried a couple of things on stack overflow, but `font family` does not appear to accept full strings like \"Times New Roman\", so I assume I need to specify something more low level?  \r\n\r\nOverall I find font handling still quite confusing, and it seems it requires deeper knwoledge than most users are going to have (or its explained somewhere that is not adequately cross linked).\r\n\r\n\n\n### Suggested improvement\n\n_No response_\n\n### Matplotlib Version\n\nmain","author":{"url":"https://github.com/jklymak","@type":"Person","name":"jklymak"},"datePublished":"2021-11-26T08:57:06.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":14},"url":"https://github.com/21761/matplotlib/issues/21761"}
