What platform(s) does this occur on?

Android

Did you reproduce this issue in a development build?

Yes

Summary

Calling expo-print's printToFileAsync, passing HTML such as in the reproduction that includes a reference like this:

<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Tangerine' rel='stylesheet'>

the print succeeds in producing a PDF in the cache directory, HOWEVER, no text appears, although if the text is underlined, the underlines do appear. For example:

Reloading the app and trying the print again then succeeds, I suspect because the font has by this time been successfully downloaded and cached:

NOTE: after the first reproduction of this bug, to get it to fire again requires going to the Apps Settings in Android, then Storage, then (not sure which is necessary, but both does work): clear cache and clear data.
