The PDF format defines 14 standard fonts that can be used in PDF documents. Besides Symbol
and Zapf Dingbats this includes 4 styles (regular, bold, italic/oblique, bold+italic) of Helvetica,
Courier, and Times. PDFKit supports them out of the box. To switch between standard fonts,
just call the `font` method with `'Times-Roman'`, `'Times-Bold'`, `'Times-Italic'` or `'Times-BoldItalic'`, respectivly.
See the `pdfkit/lib/font/data/` folder for the exact Labels.
The PDF format also allows fonts to be embedded right in the document. PDFKit supports
embedding TrueType (`.ttf`), OpenType (`.otf`), WOFF, WOFF2, TrueType Collection (`.ttc`),
and Datafork TrueType (`.dfont`) fonts.
