matplotlib-devel Mailing List for matplotlib

Hello everybody
I just added some documentation for the MEP22 new classes and methods.
Please take a look https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/2759
I ran into some problems, when trying to decide if some methods where
public or not.
If the method was used only for backend implementation pourposes I put
it as private (name starts with underscore) but still documented them
in the Notes section of the class.
I don't know if this is the correct way to do it, but I couldn't decide.
If you prefer any other way to do it, please let me know.
Thank you
Federico

matplotlib is not able to use .otf format fonts. We bundle a version 
where they have been converted to .ttf. We could update our code to use 
.otf fonts but it's considerable work, involving writing code on top of 
freetype to convert and subset our fonts, rather than the 15-year-old 
ttconv code we use now.

I want to apologies because, as some of you noted, I sent some e-mails to this 
list in which they were not destined for. It was a bad configuration of my mail 
client that I just corrected now so I hope it won't happen again.
Please, sorry for the inconvenience.
