## Example

## Info

The fonts are optionally taken from the local search path. On Windows the path `%WINDIR%\Fonts` (usually `C:\Windows\Fonts`) and on Mac OS X the paths `/Library/Fonts` and `/System/Library/Fonts` can be used as fallbacks for fonts. This can be configured with the setting `fontpath`.
