What renderer is matplotlib using now ? Because IIRC it could use cairo,
and cairo does support complex font shaping and modern font formats via
pango-cairo. 5-6 years ago at an xorg text summit people agreed to
converge on a single text rendering stack, and we are finally getting
there with QT and GTK both using harfbuzz-ng (+ libreoffice, firefox, etc)

The text stack should look like

freetype
   ↓
fontconfig
   ↓
harfbuzz-ng
   ↓
upper layers : QT, gtk → pango, cairo → pango, etc
