python-matplotlib is carrying its own fonts around, which I didn't
catch. My bad. So thanks for doing the auto-review.
I think I can just nuke the fonts that are in the package. There is
also an experimental fontconfig feature in matplotlib 0.98.1 that I
can try to enable.
One thing, can you look over the fonts included in matplotlib and see
if there are any fonts which are not-duplicates of existing packaged
fonts?
