Description
Google provide a Google font provider in Google play services 11+ in order for application to download font and share them between application. (https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/look-and-feel/downloadable-fonts#the-basics)
The application on which I'm working on use that feature and one of my user who use MicroG instead of GooglePlayService receive a crash during font loading due to the font not available.
Would you be able to support that feature?

Start with the linked Android downloadable-fonts documentation and inspect the existing dummy font-provider implementation in GmsCore. Determine the entry point used for font loading and define completion as supporting the Google provider so applications using MicroG do not crash when loading downloadable fonts.
