Description

PDFs support 14 fonts by default. Enable use of other fonts by letting the programmer supply a font, which we parse and insert into the PDF.

Ideally we would perform font subsetting, so unused characters are not included.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the PDF font-handling entry points and the related issue #1, then determine how a programmer-supplied font should be parsed and inserted. Clarify whether font subsetting is required for this issue; done means custom fonts work in generated PDFs and the agreed unused-character behavior is covered.
