It looks like something fishy in your font cache -- "None" has been
entered in the table as a filename.
Can you move away your ~/.matplotlib/fontList.cache file (to force a
regeneration) and see if that resolves the problem? If so, I'd like to
see the original broken fontList.cache file to see if I can get to the
bottom of what's wrong with it.
Have you set any font-related rcParams to anything non-standard that
might be causing the lookup to fail?
Cheers,
Mike
