Description
### Description
https://github.com/dotnet/maui/blob/9.0.50/src/Graphics/src/Graphics/Platforms/Android/FontExtensions.cs#L15
always try to load font from resource/assets dir,
however, it seems FontManager already created & cached some typeface object?
https://github.com/dotnet/maui/blob/main/src/Core/src/Fonts/FontManager.Android.cs#L56
so why not re-use the cached typeface?
### Public API Changes
No
### Intended Use-Case
avoid load font again & again.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by comparing src/Graphics/src/Graphics/Platforms/Android/FontExtensions.cs at line 15 with src/Core/src/Fonts/FontManager.Android.cs at line 56. Trace how FontManager creates and caches typefaces, then determine whether ToTypeface() can reuse that cache; done means avoiding repeated font loads without changing the public API.
