freetype 2.11.0 update results in matplotlib killing the python kernel

[trenton3983]

• I read the conda-forge documentation and could not find the solution for my problem there.

Issue: please refer to [Bug]: Matplotlib crashes Python #21511

• freetype 2.11.0 in the Friday, Oct 29 conda update causes any call to matplotlib to kill the python kernel. This is resolve by installing freetype 2.10.4.
• Maybe rollback the version of freetype in conda

Environment (conda list):

$ conda list

Details about conda and system ( conda info ):

$ conda info

To clarify: freetype 2.11.0 is not yet available on conda-forge, the corresponding PR hasn't been merged yet: #41

The problematic freetype package comes from the anaconda defaults channel.
