Add instructions for custom fonts to readme

Hi, thanks for providing this extension/template. I never managed to implement this on my own and just recently found your extension.

I figured out, how to use custom fonts in the letter (I personally don't like lmodern too much).
Can I open a PR to add the details to your readme?

The font files need to be in the root folder of the *.qmd file.
Supposing the font files are called e.g. "roboto-latin-regular.ttf" or "roboto-latin-italic.ttf", etc.,
the necessary YAML options are:

mainfont: roboto
mainfontoptions:
- Extension=.ttf
- UprightFont=*-latin-regular
- BoldFont=*-latin-700
- ItalicFont=*-latin-italic
- BoldItalicFont=*-latin-700italic

This changes the font for the body, header, the address..., basically all except the back-address-field.
To change the latter, you need to also add the following:

sansfont: roboto
sansfontoptions:
- Extension=.ttf
- UprightFont=*-latin-regular
- BoldFont=*-latin-700
- ItalicFont=*-latin-italic
- BoldItalicFont=*-latin-700italic
