Expanding font support with Fontist

If your tasks require extending beyond the set of fonts in GitHub Actions runner, you can employ the Fontist to facilitate custom font installations. Here's an example showcasing how to use [fontist/setup-fontist] to add new fonts:

- uses: fontist/setup-fontist@v2
- run: fontist install "Fira Code"
- uses: typst-community/setup-typst@v3
  with:
    cache-dependency-path: requirements.typ
- run: typst compile paper.typ paper.pdf --font-path ~/.fontist/fonts
