The official xkcd font https://github.com/ipython/xkcd-font
was missing from the list of what is looked for when the
user selects xkcd mode. Since it is the "official" font, it
has been added to the top of the list.

Does this correctly use the font if it is installed?

This should probably also be added to
font.fantasy in the template

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/matplotlibrc.template#L209

and rcsetup

https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/blob/master/lib/matplotlib/rcsetup.py#L1002

I installed the font in my ~/.fonts directory and it works beautifully. Should I modify this PR to include the changes @jenshnielsen suggested?

This looks wrong, are there missing '' here?

Hmm, isn't fantasy a meta-name for fonts and should be last?
