windows: access violation loading ToyFontFace

[time4tea]

Using ToyFontFace on pycairo windows 10 seems to have a problem, causing immediate program exit

import faulthandler
import cairo
import os

faulthandler.enable()

print([x for x in os.listdir('c:/windows/fonts') if "arial" in x])

# try arial, Arial, arial.ttf

face = cairo.ToyFontFace("arial.ttf", cairo.FONT_SLANT_NORMAL,  cairo.FONT_WEIGHT_NORMAL)
print(face)

will result in

Windows fatal exception: access violation

This is repeatable every time.

Sorry I don't know too much about windows, so can't really make any useful suggestions. Thanks for taking a look.

Thanks. I can confirm this with the Windows wheel build (pycairo v1.27.0). Not in MSYS2 though.
