build requirements for matplotlib

The latest version I see there is 2.3.9. Is this another instance of the sourceforge file display bug that haunted matplotlib recently?

Is it possible to install matplotlib with freetype 1.3.1 ?

I suspect the statement of "at least version 1.4" is true, but that requirement was created before I joined the project. However, version 1.3.1 is almost 10 years old -- it's worthwhile using something more recent if only for the quality of the rendering, if not outright API incompatibilities.

Cheers,
Mike
