Description

I'm getting CI/CD fails on windows vs linux, and I suspect it's related to the text renderer, as described here: https://github.com/matplotlib/pytest-mpl#removing-text . When I added this option, they still seem to fail.

I'm using the standard "ubuntu-20.04" and "windows-2019" github action runners. Are there instructions anywhere or existing repos that can use this library in different environments using the standard runners?

I'd be happy to contribute a PR to update the docs for this repo, if someone can steer me in the correct direction. Thanks!
