There are no evidence that the module-level kiva.fonttools.font_manager.findfont being used downstream nor within kiva's code base apart from tests.
e.g. Projects typically use the findfont method on the Font object, like this:
>> from kiva.fonttools import font
>>> f = font.Font()
>>> f.findfont()
