Investigating loading system fonts with fontkit-rs/fontdb

MuPDF does not, by default, make use of fonts present on the underlying system (for instance, on Windows, MuPDF will not look for fonts in C:/Windows/). Should you wish to implement this kind of ‘system font’ loading, however, MuPDF does provide hooks for this to be done. The
fz_install_load_system_font_funcscall takes a set of function pointers that can be used for this purpose.
