1	get_fonts()

For this function to run successfully, computer must be connected to the internet. At the time of writing, caricRture uses showtext to handle the fonts. That package doesn't work well with the RStudio graphics device - better to use quartz or X11 to write to a floating window if using RStudio. Each font has a two-letter abbreviation, which can be used as a family parameter in par. The abbreviations and associated fonts are:

am: Amatic SC
dk: Dekko
gr: Covered By Your Grace
hl: Handlee
pm: Permanent Marker
rs: Rock Salt
ws: Waiting for the Sunrise
