fixing the Complex Heavy TTF font

[yangcht]

Hey! I found a bug in my TTF font for the set Complex Heavy. I fixed it, and you might want to update the font. https://github.com/yangcht/Hershey_font_TTF

Hey Chentao! Thanks for letting me know! I'll update it shortly 😄

@yangcht When I'm trying to add the new fonts, I find that matplotlib font_manager cannot correctly find Complex Heavy if I ask it to search following font_manager.findfont('AVHershey Complex:heavy'). It returns AVHersheyComplexMedium.ttf. Below is the code I use:

pkg_path = '/Users/jiaxuanl/Dropbox (Princeton)/Research/SideProjects/Hershey_font_TTF'
import matplotlib.font_manager as font_manager
for font in font_manager.findSystemFonts(pkg_path):
    print(font)
    font_manager.fontManager.addfont(font)

print(font_manager.findfont('AVHershey Complex:heavy'))

It returns '/Users/jiaxuanl/Dropbox (Princeton)/Research/Packages/smplotlib/src/smplotlib/ttf/AVHersheyComplexMedium.ttf'

Moreover, font_manager.findfont('AVHershey Complex:heavy:italic') gives AVHersheyComplexHeavy.ttf, but not AVHersheyComplexHeavyItalic.ttf.

Any thoughts?? Thanks!
