ragg not using font found by systemfonts

ragg isn't finding a font that is accessible by systemfonts and grDevices. I first noticed this while using ggsave(), so I tried some methods of specifying both family and fontface in theme(), but that didn't appear to work either. I eventually reduced it down to this reprex:
fonts <- systemfonts::system_fonts()
fonts[fonts$family == "Lato", c("name", "family", "style", "weight")]
#> # A tibble: 10 × 4
#> name family style weight
#> <chr> <chr> <chr> <ord>
#> 1 Lato-Black Lato Black heavy
#> 2 Lato-Light Lato Light light
#> 3 Lato-LightItalic Lato Light Italic light
#> 4 Lato-Italic Lato Italic normal
#> 5 Lato-HairlineItalic Lato Hairline Italic thin
#> 6 Lato-Regular Lato Regular normal
#> 7 Lato-BoldItalic Lato Bold Italic bold
#> 8 Lato-BlackItalic Lato Black Italic heavy
#> 9 Lato-Hairline Lato Hairline thin
#> 10 Lato-Bold Lato Bold bold
grDevices::png("grDevices.png")
plot(987654321, family = "Lato-LightItalic")
dev.off()
#> quartz_off_screen
#> 2
Correct font is used, Lato Light Italic.
ragg::agg_png("ragg.png")
plot(987654321, family = "Lato-LightItalic")
dev.off()
#> quartz_off_screen
#> 2
Incorrect font is used, seems to default to regular Lato.

Yes - systemfonts and ragg is much more strict about this than e.g. quartz. The family name is Lato and not Lato-LightItalic so passing the latter will not work. For now you'll need to register a new font to access weights not supported by the graphic engine. Will consider if there is a better way
