This is maybe another push in the direction of using fontconfig (which claims to support otf fonts already). I'd really prefer to go in that direction rather than continue to tack on partial reimplementations of it in font_manager.py -- but it does complicate dependencies on non-X11 platforms).
There is experimental support for using fontconfig (through the commandline interface, not an API wrapper), that may work. Just set the USE_FONTCONFIG variable to True in font_manager.py. You will have to copy the MPL fonts to a system font directory (such as ~/.fonts) in order for fontconfig to find them. (I can also look into this myself when I return to the office on Monday...)
