You need to set font family using pyplot of matplotlib.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
csfont = {'fontname':'Times New Roman'}
// write your code related to basemap here
plt.title('title',**csfont)
plt.show()

You can also use the following to change font globally.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.rcParams["font.family"] = "Times New Roman"
