Support font features/language in default RendererBase.draw_text

QuLogic · QuLogic · commit 9059da7d133f · 2026-04-07T02:52:06.000-04:00
If a backend doesn't implement `draw_text`, then we fall back to this
implementation that draws paths. It was previously missing support for
font features and languages.
