One problem was that it was large compared to mpl at the time, and mpl
was pure python. So it complicated the distribution to have a large
piece of extension code that wasn't quite as ubiquitous as numpy. Of
course now mpl is much larger and has it's own extension code headaches.

I would love for someone how to figure out how to extract and embed
just the needed glyphs rather than dump the whole file in. I'm 99%
sure this is possible, it just takes some dedication.
