This can lead to text overflowing the legend box.\r\n\r\n**Code for reproduction**\r\n\r\n```python\r\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\r\nfrom matplotlib import rcParams\r\n\r\nrcParams[\"pdf.fonttype\"] = 42\r\n\r\nplt.plot([0, 1], [0, 1], label=\"Hello AVATAVATAVATAVATAVATAVAT\")\r\nplt.legend()\r\n\r\nplt.savefig(\"kern42.pdf\")\r\n```\r\n\r\n**Actual outcome**\r\n![kern42_pdf](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/12832470/125095669-b6d47e80-e0d4-11eb-9480-9d0b7f621d37.png)\r\n[kern42.pdf](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/files/6792128/kern42.pdf)\r\n\r\n\r\n**Expected outcome**\r\n![kern42_pdf](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/12832470/125095989-02872800-e0d5-11eb-88a0-44e07ab7a9a2.png)\r\n[kern42.pdf](https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/files/6792123/kern42.pdf)\r\n\r\n\u003c!--A description of the expected outcome from the code snippet--\u003e\r\n\u003c!--If this used to work in an earlier version of Matplotlib, please note the version it used to work on--\u003e\r\n\r\n**Matplotlib version**\r\n\u003c!--Please specify your platform and versions of the relevant libraries you are using:--\u003e\r\n  * Operating system: Debian 11\r\n  * Matplotlib version (`import matplotlib; print(matplotlib.__version__)`): 3.4.2\r\n  * Matplotlib backend (`print(matplotlib.get_backend())`): TkAgg (PS I assume)\r\n  * Python version: 3.9.2\r\n  * I've installed Matplotlib with pip in a virtualenv\r\n\r\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/sauerburger","@type":"Person","name":"sauerburger"},"datePublished":"2021-07-09T14:48:29.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/20614/matplotlib/issues/20614"}
