The issue is that we are requiring freetype 2.4 when we only need 2.3.
This has been fixed on both the maintenance branch and master and will
be included in 1.4.1 (which we hope to get out in the next week).

I am against pushing the pyplot style title/xlabel/.. function down
into the OO layer, I really do not like the different behaviour and
returns depending on the arguments. That has always struck me as a
MATLAB-ism that should be dropped, but we are stuck with to maintain
back-compatibility.

Tom,
Thanks for https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/3587, which
provides a concise draft implementation of your proposal, in concept if
not in detail.
Although this provides a way to get interactive drawing while specifying
axes and figures explicitly, it is still using two interface
One point which is often neglected while discussing
oo- vs the pyplot-api is that today introspection tools
quite often fail to work with mpl-oo but are
perfectly fine with the pyplot module. E.g. if i am writing
some kind of helper oder plotting function taking ax, one
gets no auto-completion nor
