This commit changes the default font to Source Code Pro. This choice of a free font available from Google Fonts allows resume.pdf to be built by a Github Workflow.

That doesn't work :-( Note that the numbers in https://github.com/williamsmj/resume.md/blob/workflow/resume.pdf are not in Source Serif Pro. |

This major update changes how PDFs are built. Instead of requiring weasyprint we use Google Chrome (or Chromium). Weasyprint turns out to be non-trivial to install (especially on Windows and Apple Silicon). This change is made by adding functionality to launch Chrome in headless mode to resume.py. This requires lots of special cases and options to get things to work on all the platforms I've tested. resume.py is now a "real" command line program with --no-html, --no-pdf, --quiet and --chrome-path options. The script uses Chromium if it is available, falling back to the evil version if Chromium is not found. It searches likely paths for the Chromium/Chrome executable, but you can specify the path with the --chrome-path option. This commit also adds a GitHub action to build HTML and PDF on Linux, Windows and macOS. Inspection of the build artifacts is useful for testing. It is related to #1, but is probably not ready for use by regular users. Closes #4, #6, #8

#11 basically closed this issue, but I would like to spend some more time trying to get Times New Roman to work. |

The CI job can produce "nice" PDF output, i.e. Time New Roman, if it's set to use macOS or Windows. |

While the requirements are not particularly onerous, it would be nice to be able to build with zero dependencies, just by pushing to Github. I've set up the machinery to do this on the
workflowbranch. It basically works fine, but the PDF output doesn't look great because Times New Roman is not installed in the container that does the build. I cannot figure out how to install it in a headless (i.e. non-interactive and license compliant way).This issue can be resolved by either:
Thoughts welcome!
