How do we register font via a URL or Node buffer?

Steps to Reproduce

var Canvas = require('canvas');
var canvas = Canvas.createCanvas(200, 200);
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
// etc.

Your Environment

• Version of node-canvas (output of npm list canvas or yarn list canvas): Latest stable on npm.
• Environment (e.g. node 4.2.0 on Mac OS X 10.8): Linux and Mac M_

This isn't supported right now. You'd have to fetch the URL or save the buffer to a file first. See #386: these features appear to require replacing Pango.

Closing as a dupe of that issue.
