Re: bslib and rmarkdown update

[Eric Brown <eb@ericebrown.com>]

Hi Andreas,

I can at least identify which .woff files correspond to which fonts,
that is possible with grep. Here's the output:
https://gist.github.com/eebrown/95615fc35af364bd0fae09a69273dbdf

I think deleting the .woff files and seeing if the fonts render
properly when they are installed at the system level is reasonable but
I too am not sure exactly how to try out all the fonts.

If that doesn't work, I guess it would be a matter of symlinking files
to replace the .woff files. This might require a step to derive the
.woff wiles in the format expected by bslib.
