I'm trying to use the Text component but I don't need a custom font so I'd preferably like to use the system default font. Is there a way to do so right now?

I know there is a future plan for adding a default text to the Text component (#930), just wondering if there's a workaround for now?

Checking in if there's an update here. I want to avoid the download penalty of adding more fonts to the app build size, especially when dealing with multiple languages. Using system font[s] as a backup will be a great improvement
