OK, I can replicate the bug on windows and linux -- thanks for the
test file.  Even though I've found where the bug is occurring -- the
call to 

  setattr("family_name",     Py::String(face->family_name);

in ft2font.cpp, the fix is not immediately obvious, so we'll continue
to work on it and I'll keep you posted.  In the interim, hopefully you
can remove the troublesome files from your font path and still use
matplotlib.
