This PR fixes an issue where font properties like bolds and italics would be lost when falling back to a fallback font. The problem we identified was that when loading the fallback fonts, we were just loading them by name. This meant that when the original font had a different font weight (e.g., bold) or style applied to it this would not cascade to the fallback font. To reproduce the problem, we used the following text in a Markdown file: ```md **한글 bold** ``` With the following font configuration in Zed: ```json "buffer_font_family": "Victor Mono", "buffer_font_fallbacks": [ "D2Coding" ] ``` The fonts can be obtained from their respective locations: - [Victor Mono](https://rubjo.github.io/victor-mono/) - [D2Coding](https://github.com/naver/d2codingfont) #### Before <img width="168" height="46" alt="Screenshot 2026-05-14 at 1 15 15 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f6883e4b-8f2b-4285-a110-0e18d562c51d" /> #### After <img width="176" height="53" alt="Screenshot 2026-05-14 at 1 16 04 PM" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/88d67207-6711-473b-8027-e0acfa58c258" /> Closes #51460.
