How about we use the built in fonts at /usr/share/fonts/ttf/noto?

Yeah, thats a good idea. Knowing a little more about how this works now, I guess we could try loading from that location and then fall back to a known file in ./, this would allow it to work locally and on the device.

Of course, we need to figure out #25 otherwise this is a bit moot!

Alternatively we could embed the font into the binary itself:

That's kinda cool. I think just referencing the font works well enough.

This is looking good so far, but I think it would make more sense to change -text to something like -subtitle and have its argument be an xpath to the caption text rather than a fixed string. Just like -xpath except grabbing text instead of downloading an image.

Also I guess the xkcd font can be deleted now.
