I am no longer regularly using conda-build and thus have little interest in pushing this patch further. Anyone should feel free to pick it up if it is still relevant.

Do you also have the problem with mathtext? (`plt.text(.5, .5, "$1.23$"` at whatever relevant size)

Hmm, that is interesting. What happens if you try to force loading raqm with `mplcairo.set_options(raqm=True)`? What if you hard-code the path of the raqm dylib in load_raqm() (in _raqm.cpp), replacing...

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know how to test the hypothesis?

Can you try at least the python script with matplotlib 3.8 (which has just been released)? I do see that there's an issue with 3.7.2, though I haven't investigated the...

Ah yes, I remember the problem now. For the macosx backend you'll need to install mplcairo from HEAD (`pip install git+https://github.com/matplotlib/mplcairo`); alternatively, as noted above, you can use one of...
