Using TrueType Fonts on MATLAB Plots

7 次查看(过去 30 天)
I am attempting to use a font (Wingdings) that is installed on my system and works on MS Word (Win10). I'm using MATLAB R2019b
My code is
figure(1);
x = 1:5;
y = 1:5;
z = round(2*ones(1,5));
% plot3(x, y, z, 'ok');
plot(x, z, 'ok');
text(1.5, 1.5, 'Some Text', 'fontname', 'Wingdings', 'fontsize', 50);
% text(1.5, 1.5, '\fontname{Wingdings} Some Text', 'fontsize', 50);
I have tried Tex, as well, and setting the fontname field only shows recatngles instead of text
Any font listed under listfonts seems to work, however, fonts listed under listTrueTypeFonts (which Wingdings is) seems to show work also, except for Wingdings and a handful of others. Has anyone else seen this behavior? After searching the support forum for a while, I have tried many things with the same results. Any help is greatly apprciated. Thank you.

It does not work in 'Windows' machine! There is a roundabout to tackle this problem.
figure(1);
x = 1:5;
y = 1:5;
z = round(2*ones(1,5));
% plot3(x, y, z, 'ok');
plot(x, z, 'ok');
text(1.5,1.5,[char(0x2B2E) char(0x2B2C) char(0x2B2F) char(0x2B2E) char(0x2721)],'fontname','ZapfDingbats','fontsize',20); % char in hexadecimal code

They all adopt a similar approach which is effective.

I have brought this issue to the notice of our developers. They will investigate the matter further.

I have the same problem.
Have your developers had the chance to "investigate the matter further"?
