Description
When you put images in Sources/MyApp/Resources, they're automatically available to Android. But, for fonts, https://skip.tools/docs/modules/skip-ui/#custom-fonts explains that you have to manually put the file (or a symlink) in Android/app/src/main/res/font.
Skip should find all of the fonts enumerated in UIAppFonts and copy/symlink those files for me.

Research direction
Start by tracing how resources under Sources/MyApp/Resources are made available to Android and how UIAppFonts is read; compare that flow with Android/app/src/main/res/font and the custom-font documentation. Done means each font listed in UIAppFonts is copied or symlinked into the Android font resource folder without manual setup.
