Follow-up to #31 (custom fonts per map file), which imports a single style per font entry with bold/italic synthesized by the renderer.

This would let a custom font entry bundle multiple files — Regular/Bold/Italic/Bold Italic — so those weights/styles render with real glyphs instead of synthesized fake bold/italic.

Bigger data model than the single-style version (list of {weight, style, bytes} per font entry instead of one blob) and more import UI (attach multiple files to one font entry, tag each with weight/style). Deliberately deferred out of the initial implementation.
