Font fallback wrong for non-regular font variant (noto sans display)

[nephele]

Reproduce: copy 'noの' into Font Demo

Switch between noto sans display regular and noto sans display bold (or any non-regular variant) The の char will disapear from the rendered text if it's not set to regular

Not quite sure if this problem is related to only this specific font or not, other noto sans variants don't display の even with the regular variant.

I have a fix that fixes this assuming the fallback font has the variant requested too (bold etc)

Unsure of how to handle if the font doesn't have that though, the error case seems to be that it doesn't render at all if the variant is different (maybe switch it to a assumed same variant in another part of the stack, but i am a bit lost there)

i.e noto cjk has no "extrabold" variant

This patch should atleast fix the default window decorator text to display symbols and cjk text. It does not affect applications/Terminal, there the fallback is still broken for all variants of all fonts i tested, might be a different issue.

edit: as pulkomandy noted on irc, the monospace fonts aren't guranteed to have consistent glyph sizes between each other, so that would heva to be adressed too for font fallbacks there
