Lev,
It looks to me like you have stumbled on either a bug or a feature--and
I think it is the former--so I have moved this over to the devel list.
The code for handling font defaults in FontProperties is tricky, and I
am not sure I understand it correctly. It looks like it is setting up
defaults in the FontPropertiesSet class, and those defaults should be
effectively pointers to the corresponding rcParams values. (They are
single-element lists.) However, it looks like this clever scheme is
being subverted by all the set_* methods of FontProperties, which are
called when the instance is initialized, and which seem to be discarding
(via the pop method) all of the initial values--the pointers.
Most likely I am missing something, and it will be more efficient if
someone closer to this part of the code can take a look and enlighten
me, or fix the problem, or explain why this is a feature and not a bug.
