Bug report

Bug summary

It is impossible to set more than one font in a legend making it impossible to label data in different languages, such as chinese, arabic and emojis, in the same legend. Allowing prop to accept lists of dictionaries would solve this issue.

Code for reproduction

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

f, axs = plt.subplots()
plt.plot([i for i in range(5)], label=u"#방탄소년단")
plt.plot([i for i in range(6)], label=u"#🔥")
plt.legend()
plt.show()

Actual outcome

Expected outcome

While it would be nice if matplotlib searched for fonts with support for unicode characters, simply allowing lists of fonts to be specified for each handle label, rather than enforcing using one font.
