Description
Right now when requesting a font family with select_best_match it returns a handle to a single font. This limits the languages that can be supported when relying on font_kit::source::SystemSource.
If I'm not mistaken the appropriate solution is to have select_best_match return an array of all fonts, including every language and emoji, that conform the provided constraints.

Research direction
Start by tracing select_best_match and SystemSource in the font_kit source. Determine the API and compatibility implications of returning multiple matching fonts, including language and emoji coverage. Done means the requested constraints yield all appropriate matching fonts rather than a single handle, with the behavior validated by the project’s tests.
