Description: PR summary Why is this change necessary? / What problem does it solve? Fixes a rendering issue where small Chinese characters were loaded as pixelated embedded bitmaps instead of smooth vector outlines. What is the reasoning for this implementation? Adding the FT_LOAD_NO_BITMAP flag to FT_Load_Glyph forces the FreeType engine to ignore embedded bitmaps and use vector outlines, ensuring high-quality rendering at small font sizes. Closes #32063 AI Disclosure Yes, generative AI was used to assist in troubleshooting the FreeType flag and setting up the local build environment. PR checklist "closes #32063" is in the body of the PR description to link the related issue new and changed code is tested [N/A] Plotting related features are demonstrated in an example [N/A] New Features and API Changes are noted with a directive and release note Documentation complies with general and docstring guidelines
