Hi, I asked for a bundling exception in Fedora, see
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/381 But I should only be able to get a temporary one, and that based on any feedback I receive here :-) Problem is, matplotlib bundles stix fonts 1.0, and fedora, since fedora 18 ships stix fonts 1.1, that are not "really" compatible with 1.0. I got things working for Fedora 18 by using "USE_FONTCONFIG = True", but, every other distro, probably sans Fedora spins bundles fonts and does not use fontconfig. From fedora 18 to 20 several updates were made to fix side effects of using fontconfig, then, ultimately, fedora 20 was shipped with my patch to use fontconfig removed, because the patch was (apparently) upstreamed 95% workarounds to side effects of using fontconfig, but the change to use fontconfig removed by mistake... So, there is also a kind of chicken and egg problem, no bundling policy, and no patching (or as few as possible and with a good reason) policy. I would like to have any suggestion of a very good reason to bundle stix fonts, or, some idea of how to handle it, if matplotlib cannot use fontconfig by default on Linux and *BSD.
