Overview: What does this pull request change?
This PR adds support for font features and font variants in text elements rendered with Pango. It relies on changes in ManimCommunity/ManimPango#121. When using versions of ManimPango that don't support font features or variants (like, the latest release) this has no effect, thanks to wrapping attr setters using
with suppress(Exception).Motivation and Explanation: Why and how do your changes improve the library?
Looking at the
CountingSceneexample in the docs, I noticed that the layout shifting horizontally as the numbers were incrementing. I went to update the example to use tabular instead of proportional figures, but didn't see a way to do that.Digging in further, I found a way to do this in LaTeX (I think... PR forthcoming), but not for SVG text. This led me down a rabbit hole that resulted in ManimCommunity/ManimPango#121 and now this PR.
