Description

It looks like font loading will be a bit of a project with pango; I haven't looked into it much, but the browsers manage to do it so we should be able to manage too.

Research direction

Start at the Text::load_font entry point and investigate how font loading can be supported with pango. Compare the required behavior with how browsers manage font loading, then define and implement a working font-loading path for piet. The issue names no files or tests, so the relevant entry points and validation steps must first be located.
