        "\n# Using ttf font files\n\nAlthough it is usually not a good idea to explicitly point to a single ttf file\nfor a font instance, you can do so by passing a `pathlib.Path` instance as the\n*font* parameter.  Note that passing paths as `str`\\s is intentionally not\nsupported, but you can simply wrap `str`\\s in `pathlib.Path`\\s as needed.\n\nHere, we use the Computer Modern roman font (``cmr10``) shipped with\nMatplotlib.\n\nFor a more flexible solution, see\n:doc:`/gallery/text_labels_and_annotations/font_family_rc` and\n:doc:`/gallery/text_labels_and_annotations/fonts_demo`.\n"
