This changes SCTK's logic to use font-loader instead of the in-house fontconfig logic of andrew to find & load fonts. font-loader uses the fontconfig library, so this should hopefully fix most font loading issues.

This is a hotfix measure in waiting for something like #131 to move forward.

Should fix #170

What was the reason font-config was chosen over font-loader?

fontconfig is a lower-level dependency (font-loader depends on it), and font-loader appears to be mostly unmaintained now.

I missed that somehow, sorry.
What do you think of rust-fontconfig? It's still very new though.

I was not aware of it, will have to give it a look. Thanks for the heads-up
