 As indicated on https://make.wordpress.org/core/2021/06/25/introducing-
 theme-json-in-wordpress-5-8/, "The default font-family styles for the
 editor are not enqueued." when theme.json is present in a theme.

 As far as I can see, there is no method to set the font-family of the
 editor without enqueuing a custom style sheet, which defeats the point of
 what I believe the new theme.json is pushing to achieve.

 Similarly, theme.json can specify the below property:

 {{{
 settings.typography.fontFamilies
 }}}

 but it doesn't appear to do anything or be used anywhere in the editor.

 Is this future functionality, or is the handling of editor/block font-
 families an oversight in 5.8?
