Example of how to use
To load a font dynamically, you must first have a base64 string of your font file (TTF or OTF):
; .../* Load a single font */; /* Load a list of fonts */; ...
Font loading using file path
You can download font file to file system and then load it to app without sending base64 to bridge.
; const fontFilePath = RNFetchBlobfsdirsDocumentDir + "fonts/roboto.ttf"; ;
