I've looked into the help pages and searched the lists, but could only
find out that "The default font family is Helvetica."

How could I use a different  font with cairo_pdf? In Cairo (the R
package), there is a ?CairoFontMatch and ?CairoFonts. Are there
equivalents for cairo_pdf?

Thank you
Liviu
