Consider switching to skrifa #5

Description

@FrankenApps

Currently this crate uses ttf-parser (or owned_ttf_parser) for loading TrueType Fonts. Both crates seem to be maintained just fine, but also have way less momentum behind them compared to googles' fontations project.

Therefore it may be nice to investigate if switching to skrifa is a viable option.

It seems like skrifa has a generally quite similar API compared to ttf-parser and it also comes with a very similar outline implementation. A high-level comparison can be found here.

Things to consider:

  • What kinds of breaking changes would be needed?
  • Does skrifa also support an "owned" mode like owned_ttf_parser?
