List available fonts

Returns the hosted font catalog — every family is available on every plan — and the Google Fonts capability: any Google Fonts family can be used by passing a googleFontsUrl on POST /v1/render (up to googleFonts.maxFamiliesPerUrl families per URL). Use a hosted key as a fontStack entry; only weighted families can serve as the document body/heading family, and a family declared in googleFontsUrl / googleFontsUrls can also be referenced by name in rules (set.family). The guidance array carries the pairing/positional rules and the validate-first preflight tip; preflight a font choice with POST /v1/render/validate (a misspelled Google family returns 400 google_font_not_found without spending a render).
