Helvetica is listed in the BDAU when inspecting matplotlib.font_manager.fontManager.afmlist
, but trying to switch to Helvetica as follows:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.rcParams['font.sans-serif'] = ['Helvetica']
throws the error Font family ['sans-serif'] not found. Falling back to DejaVu Sans
Closing for now as DejaVu Sans is quite similar to Helvetica
BJA guidelines recommends we use this rather than DejaVu Sans (the matplotlib default)
