+ * The font family every string in the doctor report is drawn in.
+ *
+ * jsPDF's built-in Helvetica is WinAnsi-encoded, so anything outside Latin-1
+ * (Polish, Cyrillic, Greek, Hangul, arrows) drew as a `.notdef` box. The
+ * report embeds Unicode TrueType fonts instead, built from Noto Sans, Noto
+ * Sans Math and Noto Sans KR by `scripts/build-pdf-fonts.py` (SIL Open Font
+ * License 1.1, `fonts/OFL.txt`). jsPDF has no per-glyph fallback, so each
+ * file carries every script it is meant for:
+ *
+ * - `ReportSans-*` (about 190 KB each): Latin incl. Extended-A/B, Greek,
+ *   Cyrillic, punctuation, super-/subscripts, currency, arrows and
+ *   mathematical operators. Regular, bold and italic.
+ * - `ReportSansKR-*` (about 2.7 MB each): the same plus Hangul. Read only
+ *   for a report that contains Hangul, so the other locales never load it.
+ *   Hangul has no italic; the italic style maps to the upright regular.
+ *
+ * jsPDF subsets each font to the glyphs a document uses, so the size of the
+ * produced PDF does not follow the size of these files.
+ *
+ * The files are read from disk at render time. The standalone build cannot
+ * see a path assembled at runtime, so `next.config.ts` names the directory in
+ * `outputFileTracingIncludes`.
