fontFamily "material" is not a system font when using Expo
See original GitHub issueEnvironment
Expo SDK 35 react-native-paper 2.16.0
Description
Trying to use react-native-paper components in an expo project, I receive the error “fontFamily “material” is not a system font and has not been loaded through Font.loadAsync.”. The docs state that when using expo, there is no need to install vector-icons as it is prepackaged with expo, so I am not sure where the issue lies. I see an open issue for this dating back to earlier this year with no definitive solution but suggesting to load the fonts via await Font.loadAsync({ 'MaterialIcons': require('@expo/vector-icons/fonts/MaterialIcons.ttf') }), but I do not have a fonts directory under vector-icons.
