Fonts with variable weight? #121

Hi first of all thanks for this awesome create!

Is there a way to render fonts with variable weight?

I'm currently keeping 4 or more fonts with static weights (regular, bold, italic and bold-italic), but sadly each one is around 800k kind need to binary size.

Sorry, there's no API to adjust the font weight right now. Maybe in the future though.

What would need to be done to add font variations, such as as the weight?

It would be really useful to have this feature and be able to use variable weight ttfs files, rather than a whole directory of different weights.

I have looked into ab-glyph and cosmic-text, but this library's api is by far my favorite being so much better and nicer to use, and I would prefer to keep using it. :blush:
