Bug summary

A Segfault happens when calling fm.get_font(...). This happens at least on the current main version for python 3.13 in conda-forge.

Code for reproduction

import matplotlib.font_manager as fm

font = fm.get_font("C:\\Windows\\Fonts\\arial.ttf")
font.set_text("lp")

Actual outcome

No output, the program simply stops without output (Is there a way to enable C Code debugging, so we get a stacktrace for the Segfault?).
Running the code as a subprocess or as a jupyter notebook the return code is 3221225477 (0xC0000005)

Expected outcome

The program exits as normal (exit code 0)

Additional information

After updating my conda environment today, I noticed that suddenly sns.heatmap crashed my program. Debugging the code I arrived at the provided minimal example.
The exact version is win-64/matplotlib-3.10.6-py313hfa70ccb_1.conda
