Zen Hei seems packaged for Ubuntu, but in Universe, Not sure if we need to do something special to allow installing it. |

The SourceForge download of Zen Hei sometimes fails, so this was probably not a good idea. Google's Noto fonts seem to be better packaged in various systems, so perhaps something like Noto Sans CJK SC could be more useful. For context: some of the new font changes by @aitikgupta crash on my computer (an M1 Mac) but not on his (I believe Linux on x86), so I would like to add a more cross-platform test with a CJK font and see if we can replicate the crash in CI. |

On Linux and Mac. Add a font_manager test that loads the font and uses it. This could be useful in testing the multi-font support (matplotlib#20740 etc). I couldn't get the font installed on Windows. There is a Chocolatey installer that installs all of the Noto fonts, which takes a really long time to run.

I'm giving up on Windows - the Chocolatey package installs all of the Noto fonts and takes half an hour to do it, and my PowerShell skills are not enough to install just one. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think this can be a good validation for testing the font fallback.
If we do keep this, do we also need to keep installing ZenHei for CI (on Linux) as well?
Noto CJK could potentially replace it right? (I'll do a local installation to test out the actual difference between number of glyphs)
