monte has previously said that merggoogle is using a c-library.
the "need" for merggoogle is to not rewrite the existing code and/or write
a new library from scratch. otherwise i wouldn't need to issue an rfq to

Another approach might be to find a font or subset of fonts that looks the same
on all platforms and use that. You may have to pay for the font(s) but you gain
consistency.

It'll be good to hear from Monte on this, but I'd guess the reason
merGoogle isn't actively supported is because the meat of it is handling
authentication, and the REST API itself if pretty straightforward.
Indeed, the current implementation of
(Default),(Menu),(Message),(Styled Text),(System),(Text),(Tooltip)
is not very useful.
For example (System) at size 13 on MacOS 10.15 is on Windows 10
at about (System) at size 12. So one needs nevertheless a platform
switch.
