Link fonts to make it easier to apply bold and italic font effects easier.

Example Usage

This lets us use related variations of a font family. We register them all, then we use the registerFontFamily tag with attributes for normal, bold, italic and potentially boldItalic to register a font for each variation.

<docinit>
    <registerTTFont faceName="Arial-Regular" fileName="{{ DIR }}/fonts/Arial/Arial-Regular.ttf"/>
    <registerTTFont faceName="Arial-Italic" fileName="{{ DIR }}/fonts/Arial/Arial-Italic.ttf"/>
    <registerTTFont faceName="Arial-Bold" fileName="{{ DIR }}/fonts/Arial/Arial-Bold.ttf"/>
    <registerFontFamily
            normal="Arial-Regular"
            bold="Arial-Bold"
            italic="Arial-Italic"
    />
</docinit>
...
<stylesheet>
    <paraStyle name="text" fontName="Arial-Regular" fontSize="10" leading="11.5" textColor="black"/>
</stylesheet>
<story>
    <para style="text"><b>This text will generate using the font I defined</b></para>
</story>

As you see from the above, since text uses "Arial-Regular" you would expect that font, but since we've added <b> tags, we'll actually get the related "Arial-Bold" instead
