Specify Fonts and Borders

By default, the reporter package will create fixed-width style reports in Courier font. The package supports two additional fonts: Arial and Times New Roman. The package also supports the ability to turn on borders for your content. To demonstrate, the simple demographics table seen previously is reproduced below in Arial font with borders around the table, titles, and footnotes.
