Bug Report
Actual behavior:
The custom font loading example is intended to use Garamond, a serif font. Under Windows 10 home, it uses the default fallback font, Arial:

Expected behavior:
A Garamond variant is used, and looks like this (serif font):

Steps to reproduce/example code:
Run the example as included in the tip of development on Windows 10 Home:
arcade/arcade/examples/drawing_text.py
Line 143 in 9b219a5
| font_name="Garamond") |
Root Cause
According to Microsoft, Garamond does not ship with Windows 10 by default, but is provided by installing one of their office products. Adobe may also provide a Garamond variant with their products. We cannot rely on these to be installed on end-user systems.
Possible Fixes
- Use either a font present on all operating systems (difficult to synchronize, and may change as licensing changes)
- Choose an OS-specific font detected at runtime
- Provide a list of system fonts to try
