[Bug]: FontManager doesn't get pinging.ttc #27705
Description
Bug summary
/System/Library/Fonts/PingFang.ttc is the macOS default Chinese font. The file is a collection of three family names representing three regional glyph variants, PingFang SC, PingFang HK, and PingFang TC. FontManager doesn't seem to be able to find the SC family inside; I haven't tried the others yet.
(Manually constructing a fontProperties works, as demonstrated in #20251 (comment). However, it's not a solution for well-encapsulated code from other people.)
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
matplotlib.rcParams['font.family'] = ['Ubuntu', 'PingFang SC', 'sans-serif']
plt.title('你好世界world')
plt.savefig("test.png")Actual outcome

Got the debug trace here:
out.txt
PingFang is only resolved to HK
So the issue is probably this: addfont only adds one prop for a whole ttc. It should at least return one per unique family name. The FT2Font call upstream already ignores this possibility -- I think in FreeType2 API, the relevant thing is called a face_index.
Indeed, PingFang HK works:

Yes, currently we have only limited ttc support that only resolves the first font in a ttc.
See #23293 #3135

I'll close as a duplicate of #3135.

Fair enough!
