Make SVG plot font reproducible on server

On Posit, SVG plots are created using a non-standard font "Arimo" (apparently the default sans family font on that system), which if not installed on the system of the user rendering the plot, will show up as a serif font:

Rather than Arial, as when created locally.

I reached out to the Posit admins to ask about them installing Arial on the server (the default Sans family font for R and a commonly available OS font. The Posit admins are doubtful they can make Arial available on Posit: "I have to be wary of making changes at the server level, as even the font package could potentially cause issues for our environment or other users. I am running the idea by the team and hope to get an answer to you soon. If it is approved it would not happen until our next Posit maintenance window, as the service would need to be restarted. Just wanted to keep you informed."

The svglite documentation talks about different methods for using custom fonts, so it's possible we could have font files available in the package that can be used for the SVGs, but I was unable to successfully implement: Specifying fonts • svglite (r-lib.org)
