Describe the issue

As discussed in #2159, the note about font usage on iOS and macOS is misleading. It's not that iOS and macOS can't use variant fonts - it's that iOS and macOS will only use variants that are actually in a font file.

Suggested improvement

We should replace the note about iOS/macOS font usage with the following:


Some platforms allow the use of font weights and variants that aren't explicitly provided by altering the rendering of a normal font (e.g., using a thick pen to render a normal font to render a fake bold, or applying a skew to render a fake italic). Toga only guarantees that the font faces, variants and weights that are actually defined in a font file will be available for use.
