Pptx: read and write embedded fonts

A deck that embeds a TrueType or OpenType face, including one wrapped as Embedded OpenType, now draws with that face and saves it back. MicroType Express subsets stay in the file and still draw in a stand-in.

- **Estimate:** 10–16 h (render the timeline frame by frame; an H.264 encoder is the hard part,
FilmCraft has one to copy).
### Embedded fonts aren't read or written
- **Evidence:** no `p:embeddedFontLst` handling in `crates/pptx`.
- **Impact:** decks that rely on embedded fonts reflow.
### Embedded MicroType Express font subsets aren't drawn
- **Evidence:** `p:embeddedFontLst` is read and written. A raw TrueType/OpenType face, or one inside an Embedded OpenType wrapper, is loaded and used to draw. A MicroType Express subset (`application/x-fontdata` with neither form) is kept and written back, and the text still uses a stand-in.
- **Impact:** decks that embed a MicroType subset reflow until that face is installed.
- **Estimate:** 3–5 h.
