fontFamily cannot be overriden

See original GitHub issue

Issue Description

const customTextProps = {
  style: {
    fontFamily: 'Nunito Sans'
  }
};

setCustomText(customTextProps);

When using the Inspector, the Text component’s fontFamily still shows up as System. Apparently, react-native automatically prepended {fontFamily: 'System', fontSize:16, color:'#000'} to Text’s style prop, which overrides our own custom style prop.

Here’s a version of the code from @ex3ndr that works in 2019

const sourceRender = Text.render;
Text.render = function render(props: any, ref: any) {
  return sourceRender.apply(this, [{ ...props, style: [{ fontFamily: 'CourierNewPSMT' }, props.style] }, ref]);
};

It does not work with current react-native: 0.62.2
