Bug summary
The method get_fontconfig_fonts() in matplotlib.font_manager should return a list of files according to the documentation but in my machine it returns a list with one element that represents all paths concatenated. The snippet comes from a stack-overflow answer.
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib.font_manager
flist = matplotlib.font_manager.get_fontconfig_fonts()
names = [matplotlib.font_manager.FontProperties(fname=fname).get_name() for fname in flist]
print(names)Actual outcome
OSError: [Errno 36] File name too long
Expected outcome
It should return a list of names
