IMHO you'd have to define a ggi_font struct (or fnt_font) which abstracts
underlying font systems.
Then the two functions merges into something like:
ggi_font_t fntInitFont(const char * font,....)
where font describe a set of requested attributes (like : scalable?,
name,slant,...), just like ggi_mode.

Simply(?!) calls the appropriate backend.
It needs to be properly designed (font attributes,...) but that's the
'clean way'.
