Support for custom fonts in OpenType .otf format

[bernhardreiter]

This is a feature request. As of today jsPDF (v1.5.3) can work with custom fonts in the .ttf format,
but not the .otf format.

Some fonts are only available in the .otf and a conversion maybe lossy.
An example is https://github.com/libertinus-fonts/libertinus

So it would be cool if jsPDF would support custom fonts in .otf format directly. There is other javascript code under a Free Software license that could be inspected like https://github.com/foliojs/fontkit .

That is a great Idea. Do you have already a roadmap in how to Implement it?

When can you provide a first pull request?

@arasabbasi thanks for feedback on the idea!
Right now I don't have plans or a roadmap to implement this. It just would have been useful to have if it would have been there. Which I wanted to document. (Personally I had to go with different fonts for the very project I'm working on.)

(As a feature request, I'd still say that it is relevant. But I don't know how this initiative deals with feature requests.)

Bonus: Also add support for CFF glyph outline data (#2921).
