Provide a 'cursive' font present in Windows' default font set.
See changelog. Admittedly the CSS example page is inconsistent with https://www.w3.org/TR/css-fonts-3/#generic-font-families which lists Comic Sans as *fantasy*, not *cursive*, but none of the other cursive fonts listed here is readily available. fontconfig also defaults to listing Comic Sans as cursive. The main intent is to make `text_labels_and_annotations/fonts_demo.py` runnable with no warnings if MS core fonts are installed (freely available and packaged on Linux e.g. as https://packages.debian.org/sid/ttf-mscorefonts-installer); in any case if someone really wants a cursive or fantasy font they'll likely have to pass the actual font family name anyways as there's too much variation in what "cursive" or "fantasy" means... (The original list of fonts comes from 41f1c49 but is not explained.)
