It seems that you're using v0.98.3 or before. See if following code works.
from matplotlib.font_manager import FontProperties
def my_hash(self):
l = [self.get_family(),
self.get_style(),
self.get_variant(),
self.get_weight(),
self.get_stretch(),
self.get_size()]
return hash(repr(l))
FontProperties.__hash__ = my_hash
