systemfonts 0.2.0
- Add
string_widths_dev()
and string_metrics_dev()

font_info()
and glyph_info()
- Basic string shaping is now provided with
shape_string()

string_width()

for more complicated strings)

str_split_emoji()
for splitting of strings into substrings of emoji and non-emoji glyphs
- Provide a header file for easy use from within C in other packages
- Fix memory management issues on Mac
