Description
Hi,
I know that VTK/Mayavi can only use the 3 fonts (arial, courier & times) to display text, but I see that there is a "font file" field in Axes module for instance.
How is it supposed to be used?
If I set a font file with full path, it does not change anything, text is still displayed with arial/courier/times font.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Mayavi Axes module with a full-path TTF font file, then trace how the font file setting is passed to the text display. Confirm whether the font is applied or identify and document the limitation; verify the result by checking the rendered text against the selected font.
