Confluence Server PDF Export Doesnt seem to render fonts properly

Question

I have a macro that renders an html table with some CSS. That CSS also has data regarding what font to be used for every table entry the details of which are also loaded in the plugin's CSS resource. So a sample table data looks something like this:

Pinyon Script

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

The problem is when the above table data is rendered in the confluence PDF export it does not show the font correctly as mentioned in the style attribute. It basically shows one same font all over! The same html when provided to Scroll PDF exporter generates the fonts exactly as expected. So the question is whether this behavior expected from native confluence export and is there any way to check from within confluence what html the native confluence export "actually used" for the above mentioned td tags.

@Brant Schroeder , thanks for the reply. Yes, I did see that documentation link, however the issue is in the rendered html I am providing a link tag like so:

It looks like the the native PDF export doesnt respect this link and is unable to use the fonts provided. Can this link be somehow included in the Stylesheet form pertiaining to the native pdf export in  the link you provided?

I believe that you need to follow this documentation and include the font location https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf76/advanced-pdf-export-customizations-1018768533.html#:~:text=By%20default%2C%20Confluence%20provides%20Times,rule%20in%20your%20PDF%20Stylesheet.&text=The%20font%20path%20specified%20in,font%20on%20the%20Confluence%20server.
