getAvailableFontsSync() don't return the latest font info when called multiple times.

I tested the async and sync versions on Windows and both seem to work for me:

import { createRequire } from "module";
const require = createRequire(import.meta.url);
const fontManager = require('font-manager');


// fontManager.getAvailableFonts((fonts) => {
//     const filterdFonts = fonts.filter((font) => font.family.includes('Consolas'));
//     console.log('fonts', filterdFonts);
// });


const fonts = fontManager.getAvailableFontsSync();
const filterdFonts = fonts.filter((font) => font.family.includes('Consolas'));
console.log('fonts', filterdFonts);

I'm using git+https://github.com/q-lukasz/font-manager.git#issue-45--compile-error-mac-os-x--node-13-7 as upstream. Not sure if that includes more fixes.

@random-yang I think I managed to "reproduce" this by running it in a loop that lists and unregisters fonts in windows. I am doing this because in Windows fonts are in a table so if you register a font multiple times it has multiple entries in that table.

I also ran this in a separate script (different process) and I still had the same issue so it's not related to the library but seem to be related by the latency in windows in uregistering fonts (at least in my case).

I assume you are not unregistering fonts. In that case the issue may be that the font is registered multiple times so it seems like font-manager returns a cached result.
