Yes, do you know Final Fantasy?  "You gonna loose it ... Tracking ...
Tracking ... Found it."  af9954d46e.

I don't know which part of that commit breaks it, maybe you can have a
look?  It's a commit by you.  Maybe it's just the evil font cache. :-)

It's not the ft2font, notably, this was apparently imported properly;
it's just some initialisation code of matplotlib that seems to fail
while importing matplotlib.figure.

I verified clearly; the commit mentioned fails, and its predecessor succeeds.

I did patch the _png.cpp to make it work; it didn't comply with
libpng-1.4 that time.

I can upload the branches for testing the two commits to my repo.

So far,
Friedrich
