Description
Minimal steps to reproduce (on Ubuntu 21.04, Python 3.9):
in terminal
% python -m venv aggdrawtest
% source aggdrawtest/bin/activate
% pip install aggdraw
% python
in python:
>>> import aggdraw
>>> aggdraw.Font('black', '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/open-sans/OpenSans-Regular.ttf')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
OSError: cannot load font (no text renderer)
By contrast, if I do sudo apt install python3-aggdraw I see this in python:
>>> import aggdraw
>>> aggdraw.Font('black', '/usr/share/fonts/truetype/open-sans/OpenSans-Regular.ttf')
<Font object at 0x7f3847abcd10>
Clearly something is going wrong in the venv install. Any ideas?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Ubuntu 21.04 virtualenv commands and compare the pip installation with the apt-installed package. Inspect the package's build and dependency configuration for the missing text-renderer support; done means aggdraw.Font loads the same font successfully in a venv installation.
