Pango font rendering

[mahkoh]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm working on a GUI application and I would like to respect the users font configuration. That includes fontconfig settings, e.g. default fonts, font fallback, hinting, etc. and freetype rendering settings.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like egui to optionally use pango (or if this is too high level fontconfig, freetype, and harfbuzz) for text rendering.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None that I could come up with.
