I think in your case, your example should already work, but this thread has
inspired me to add a couple more options for controlling how fonts are found:
https://github.com/OpenImageIO/oiio/pull/3096
With this change, you can set $OPENIMAGEIO_FONTS to a colon (or semicolon)
separated searchpath, and also for apps directly calling
ImageBufAlgo::render_text, you can also OIIO::attribute("font_searchpath", ...).
