Font Warning Given with Quarto Regardless of laTeX Engine

[thatchermo]

Sorry if this is a duplicate---I think the last submission didn't get through.

This is just a small issue. When rendering in quarto, the warning "Warning: fonts used in flextable are ignored ..." is given regardless of whether the laTeX engine is xelatex. I assume it's because the check in the latex_str.R file and get_pdf_engine function is expecting something that quarto is no longer setting. Not a big issue, as the advise given in the warning message quiets the warning, but thought I'd mention it. Here's some sample code:

---
title: "Quarto Test"
format: 
  pdf:
    latex-engine: xelatex
---

```{r}
library(flextable)
knitr::opts_knit$get("rmarkdown.pandoc.args")
mtcars |> 
  head() |>
  flextable()

And here's my sessionInfo

thank you I can reproduce, and no it's not a duplicate :)

There will be efforts to adapt to quarto soon.
