Description

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

It would be cool to have a consistent way to use host fonts from within toolbox.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

I may be tricky to find a general consistent approach, though what I personally do
is for Fedora toolboxes (on Fedora):

`sudo ln -s /run/host/usr/share/fonts /usr/local/share/`

without running fc-cache.

Though apparently bad things can happen with this for Silverblue with fc-cache due to the timestamps.

FWIW, distrobox-init seems to do something like this:
