matplotlib is not able to use .otf format fonts. We bundle a version
where they have been converted to .ttf. We could update our code to use
.otf fonts but it's considerable work, involving writing code on top of
freetype to convert and subset our fonts, rather than the 15-year-old
ttconv
Hi,
I asked for a bundling exception in Fedora, see
https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/381
But I should only be able to get a temporary one,
and that based on any feedback I receive here :-)
Problem is, matplotlib bundles stix fonts 1.0, and
fedora, since fedora 18 ships stix fonts
