It'd be really helpful if #26989 could get in b/c that would help me debug the unicode minus glyph not working error

Theories? - xkcd plot works (uses style sheet underneath): https://output.circle-artifacts.com/output/job/b8c403ad-c65e-432b-a235-c17285d46d2c/artifacts/0/doc/build/html/gallery/showcase/xkcd.html#sphx-glr-gallery-showcase-xkcd-py - xkcd in style sheet reference doesn't: https://output.circle-artifacts.com/output/job/b8c403ad-c65e-432b-a235-c17285d46d2c/artifacts/0/doc/build/html/gallery/style_sheets/style_sheets_reference.html#sphx-glr-gallery-style-sheets-style-sheets-reference-py Could it be a not properly isolating settings thing?

Also, we may want to ask if we can vendor that file since it's on an unmerged branch of an unmaintained fork if we're gonna use it in doc builds?...

And do we wanna deprecate `plt.xkcd` if this goes in? shadowed all the existing xkcd tests so continuity is maintained.

follow up from call is to make a note in xkcd docs about plt.style as alt
