Create fonts already installed in the system

[吴吴]

I want to use Microsoft YaHei font to create text, but I don't want to use the FPDFText_LoadFont API. I am using a Windows system, what should I do?

Can you expand on why you don't want to use that API method? 

Currently the only choices with pdfium are:

1) load one of the limited universal fonts using public API

2) load custom font from a font file, using the public API

3) find a pdf with the full font already in it

4) modify and build pdfium with the API changes you want

I use FPDFText_LoadFont, but this API loads the font memory into the PDF file. If I load multiple fonts, the PDF file will be very large. I want to create a file using the registered fonts in the system, but make the PDF file smaller.
