At some point, we are probably going to want to display text with a custom font family. Until now, we've been using the default font, but we can use any other that we like.
Before Expo, the process of adding custom fonts was more difficult, required working with native code, and needed to be implemented differently in iOS and Android. Luckily, through the use of Expo's font helper library, this has become streamlined and simplified.
In this recipe, we will import a few fonts and then display text using each of the imported font families. We will also use different font styles, such as bold and italic.
