   You need to pick an otf font that actually supports Chinese but other than that, it's already working...

   from matplotlib.font_manager import FontProperties
   from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
   
   plt.title(
       "黑體",
       fontproperties=FontProperties(
           fname="/usr/share/fonts/adobe-source-han-sans-tw/SourceHanSansTW-Regular.otf"))
   plt.show()
   

   

   See #9787 for ttc support and #10249 for font selection issues.

   Actually that's essentially documented at https://matplotlib.org/tutorials/text/text_props.html#text-with-non-latin-glyphs. Closing, but feel free to ping with more questions.

   @liam-nirvana Glad you got this sorted! Fonts are surprisingly hard....

   Same problem. It's really terrible experience to modify the font. Many people fix the problem for hours.....I spent 2 hours on it. Failed.

   We can make the experience better by putting #9175 back in with a slightly more verbose error message (it was reverted in #11615 due to other issues).
   I'll leave this closed, as #8765 already tracks the same issue.
