Description

@dmurdoch

This causes a segfault:

> library(ragg)
> agg_png("test.png")
> plot(1,1, main = "\u6771\u4eac")
Failed to get face: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/FontServices.framework/Resources/Reserved/PingFangUI.ttc, 0
Process 70990 stopped
* thread #1, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0xc0)
    frame #0: 0x000000010389032c textshaping.so`hb_ft_face_create(ft_face=0x0000000000000000, destroy=(textshaping.so`_hb_ft_face_destroy(void*) at hb-ft.cc:125:3)) at hb-ft.cc:1137:17 [opt]

This is likely caused by a bug in textshaping (see r-lib/textshaping#77) triggered by the unrecognized font format used on the Mac.
