Cannot install 3.0.0 "python setup.py egg_info" failed (freetype & png) #12169

Description

@dumbledad

I cannot install matplotlib.

I am on a Dell Precision 5820 running Windows 10.0.17763

I have tried downloading the source and building locally, using their installers to install freetype and png, restarting the machine, running the command prompt as administrator, running python -mpip install -U matplotlib instead, updating pip, updating setuptools, installing ez_setup, ...

This is the readout I get from pip install matplotlib
