python-matplotlib is carrying its own fonts around, which I didn't
catch. My bad.  So thanks for doing the auto-review.

I think I can just nuke the fonts that are in the package.  There is
also an experimental fontconfig feature in matplotlib 0.98.1 that I
can try to enable.

One thing, can you look over the fonts included in matplotlib and see
if there are any fonts which are not-duplicates of existing packaged
fonts?
