* freetype, png
----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in c:\users\foo\a

As you can see it png and freetype modules are missing. You need to install them separately.
Try doing the following :
> pip install freetype-py
> pip install pypng
> pip install matplotlib

Get matplotlib from above location. Choose correct package based on python(2.x/3.x) and bit(32/64) version.
32-bit 2.7: matplotlib-1.5.2-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl
64-bit 2.7: matplotlib-1.5.2-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

Seems that my pip was v7 which is old.
upgraded to v9 with the 'upgrade' button.
then tried to install matplotlib again and was successful this time.
maybe this helps
I came across the same problem with you, and here is my solution
It has the problem with python 3.6 integrated with the newest pip.
so I installed python 3.5.2 with pip, but do not upgrade pip.
And you can get matplotlib installed in this way.
Hope I could provide a possible solution
I solved the same problem in Wİndows 10 as folowing:
1- Download the following files for win32 or win64 python3.7:
matplotlib-2.2.2-cp27-cp37m-win32.whl
matplotlib-2.2.2-cp27-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
from the https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/
2- By cmd console run the downloaded file under python:
.\Downloads> python -m pip install matplotlib-2.2.2-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl
you can try the matplolib

Installing the specific matplotlib version 2.2.5 worked for me on Windows 10.
The commmand to install a specific version via pip:
pip install matplotlib==2.2.5
