+
+        Parameters
+        ----------
+        prop : str or `~matplotlib.font_manager.FontProperties`
+            The font properties to search for. This can be either a
+            `.FontProperties` object or a string defining a
+            `fontconfig patterns`_.
+
+        fontext : {'ttf', 'afm'}, default: 'ttf'
+            The extension of the font file:
+
+            - 'ttf': TrueType and OpenType fonts (.ttf, .ttc, .otf)
+            - 'afm': Adobe Font Metrics (.afm)
+
+        directory : str, optional
+            If given, only search this directory and its subdirectories.
+
+        fallback_to_default : bool
+            If True, will fallback to the default font family (usually
+            "DejaVu Sans" or "Helvetica") if none of the families were found.
+
+        rebuild_if_missing : bool
+            Whether to rebuild the font cache and search again if the first
+            match appears to point to a nonexisting font (i.e., the font cache
+            contains outdated entries).
+
+        Returns
+        -------
+        OrderedDict
+            key, value pair of families and their corresponding filepaths.
+
+        Notes
+        -----
+        This is a plugin to original findfont API, which only returns a
+        single font for given font properties. Instead, this API returns
+        an OrderedDict containing multiple fonts and their filepaths which
+        closely match the given font properties.
+        Since this internally uses original API, there's no change
+        to the logic of performing the nearest neighbor search.
+        See `findfont` for more details.
