Seems to work fine.
I also changed font_manager.py the same way:
        Change
                afmpath = os.environ.get('USERPROFILE', get_data_path())
        to
                afmpath = get_home()
                if afmpath is None: afmpath = get_data_path()

Sidenote:
recall that because of this problem, during installation
I ended up with a directory named literally
        Python23\%USERPROFILE
literally.  Until I removed this, get_home did not work
quite right (because the first existence test was unexpectedly true!)
So you'll want to make sure this installation problem is
also gone.

Cheers,
