patch: force render standard fonts

[sikemonster]

This is a follow up fix to my issue https://github.com/diegomura/react-pdf/issues/2818

Problem: When styling <Text/> with standard fontFamily such font doesn't render and instead it falls back to Helvetica which is the currently configured default font.

Fix: I copied the following code and included a condition inside pickFontFromFontStack to force selecting the font that the user actually picked.

var standard = ['Courier', 'Courier-Bold', 'Courier-Oblique', 'Courier-BoldOblique', 'Helvetica', 'Helvetica-Bold', 'Helvetica-Oblique', 'Helvetica-BoldOblique', 'Times-Roman', 'Times-Bold', 'Times-Italic', 'Times-BoldItalic'];

Please review @diegomura 🙏

Will this also fix custom fonts loaded via Font.register?

@theskillwithin i never experienced issues with Font.register so i never attempted to fix it, this will most likely not fix your issue. Out of curiosity, what is your setup?

@mrjeanp For some reason the Font.register only works with external fonts. (I am using the words internal and external here to mean local path or external url path)

as soon as i try to use an internal font path by module loading or pointing to relative path /fonts/foo.ttf it does not work

oddly if I point to the same font like: https://mysite.com/fonts/foo.ttf this does work

using Remix (loaded via vite)

Taken from https://react-pdf.org/fonts#register

Try using an absolute path, maybe use something like path.join(__dirname, '../fonts/foo.ttf')
