From docs:
If delete is true (the default), the file is deleted as soon as it is closed.
That sounds like the temporary file would be cleaned up here. Then the write in the next line will be to a file that isn't cleaned up. Or does the context manager try to delete the file again even though it's been closed already?
Since json_load/json_dump are new, maybe they should be modified to take a file object instead?

try:
temp = tempfile.NamedTemporaryFile(delete=False)
temp.close()
json_dump(fontManager, temp.name)
copy = json_load(temp.name)
finally:
if os.path.exists(temp.name):
os.remove(temp.name)
