Purpose
In very specific cases in GitHub Action builds for OpenAeroStruct, the matplotlib import was failing because of something in the font manager.

One case that fails on GitHub Actions is with Python 3.8 (seems to be fixed in Python 3.10 and beyond) and the following Python package versions:
The error raised when pytest is then called is:
By catching the ImportError instead of only if matplotlib is not installed, this problem is caught. The error may have something to do with matplotlib/matplotlib#19560.
