Hi,
In matplotlib 1.2.1, the get_name function is not garding against none
self (unlike other functions); Unfortunately it seems I have a workload
that makes matplotlib call get_name with None (wasn't the case in 1.2.0).
I couldn't isolate the exact trigger, when I reduce the volume of data
processed the problem goes away so I have to simple shareable reproducer.
Anyway, the following patch makes it all work for me, could it (or
something similar) be merged?

Could you instead just test for "if not self._family"? Tests for equality
are more expensive (that means self._family == 0 or self._family == False will
also trigger your return).
I can test if it works. However, all the other tests in that file are
already of the if Foo is None form, and I didn't want to change the coding
style

I think it is a bad style then. If in some places a '' or False
is needed to discriminate from None then the code should be changed.

Thank you for your efforts on this. I am just a user like you so we have to
wait for an answer of the maintainers. Maybe I should have emphasized that earlier.
But this is good for the community review anyway.

I haven't the faintest idea. The function seems to be called with a "None"
font, and then it crashes. As it's executed under a Linux system it uses
the fontconfig backend with cairo. The call only occurs when matplotlib is
fed more data than can be isolated in an simple example

BTW if you have some code to add to the crashing function to identify
what's wrong, I can reproduce the crash at will (though the processing
before crash time is rather long)
