Problem
The reference documentation for the FontManager class says that there is a singleton:
This module provides a single FontManager instance that can be shared across backends and platforms.
However, it doesn't mention that this singleton is named fontManager.
Suggested improvement
-
The docstring should clarify that the singleton is named
fontManager, rather than implying that theFontManagerclass is a singleton:This module provides a single `FontManager` instance, `fontManager`, that is shared across backends and platforms.
-
The
fontManagerinstance should be documented as a global variable:.. data:: fontManager The singleton instance of :class:`FontManager`
