Why isn't font-manager in package.json? #21

Hey... I was digging into some issues I encountered with the install, related to font-manager install... and I just noticed that the package isn't included in the package.json file, and thus there is no specific version in use. Is there a reason for this? If not, we should find a version that works, and add it to the package.json and package-lock.json in order to make it part of the process.

I realize that the project does lookup font-manager at runtime, is this application expecting a global install? We should find a way to embed this in the app.

Yes, the reason is that it needs to be installed inside the app/ folder, from the README: Go to app/ folder and install font support with npm i font-manager. I agree it's not the best way and it could be improved.
