 In Skia, the `FontMgr` object manages a collection of font families.
 It allows you to access fonts from the system and manage custom fonts.
 
+The `matchFont()` function will always return a font.

 ## Custom Fonts
 
 The `useFonts` hooks allows you to load custom fonts to be used for your Skia drawing.
