Also the font of the tick label is not the same as the font set in matplotlibrc. \r\n\r\n**Code for reproduction**\r\n\r\n```python\r\n# This is modified from an example in matplotlib gallery.\r\n\r\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\r\nimport numpy as np\r\nfrom numpy import ma\r\nfrom matplotlib import colors, ticker, cm\r\nfrom matplotlib.mlab import bivariate_normal\r\n\r\nN = 100\r\nx = np.linspace(-3.0, 3.0, N)\r\ny = np.linspace(-2.0, 2.0, N)\r\n\r\nX, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)\r\n\r\nz = (bivariate_normal(X, Y, 0.1, 0.2, 1.0, 1.0)\r\n     + 0.1 * bivariate_normal(X, Y, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0))\r\n\r\nz = ma.masked_where(z \u003c= 0, z)\r\n\r\nfig, ax = plt.subplots()\r\n\r\nfrom matplotlib.colors import LogNorm\r\n\r\ncs = ax.imshow(z,norm=LogNorm())\r\n\r\ncbar = fig.colorbar(cs)\r\n\r\ncbar.ax.minorticks_off()\r\n\r\nplt.show()\r\n\r\n```\r\n\r\n**Actual outcome**\r\n\r\n![screen shot 2017-03-16 at 9 02 34 pm](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/14089622/23997331/e67a8234-0a8b-11e7-94c2-f057a08e8769.png)\r\n\r\n**Expected outcome**\r\n\r\nI would expect the colorbar to not have minorticks and to use the same font as other tick labels (I set font to be Arial in matplotlibrc). \r\n\r\n**Matplotlib version**\r\n\r\n- Matplotlib version, Python version and Platform (Windows, OSX, Linux ...)\r\n\r\n2.0.0_1, OSX\r\n\r\n- How did you install Matplotlib and Python (pip, anaconda, from source ...)\r\nMacports\r\n\r\n**Edit by @afvincent:** removed the unnecessary instructions coming from the _bug report_ template.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/billtau","@type":"Person","name":"billtau"},"datePublished":"2017-03-16T13:04:16.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":9},"url":"https://github.com/8307/matplotlib/issues/8307"}
