CSS font styling forced in gt::tab_style

[thebioengineer]

Prework

• Read and agree to the code of conduct and contributing guidelines.
• If there is already a relevant issue, whether open or closed, comment on the existing thread instead of posting a new issue.
• For any problems you identify, a minimal reproducible example so the maintainer can troubleshoot. A reproducible example is:
  • Runnable: post enough R code and data so any onlooker can create the error on their own computer.
  • Minimal: reduce runtime wherever possible and remove complicated details that are irrelevant to the issue at hand.
  • Readable: format your code according to the tidyverse style guide.

Question

What would you like to know?

https://github.com/rstudio/gt/blame/44e7f882b18850a92a5ef0a84b9c4ec93ab7d8e4/R/tab_style.R#L604-L608

this processing of adding the format passed by the user pre-supposes that the format of the font must be css compliant, which makes it so other formats must post-process the fonts passed, for example, passing a font with a space in it to word is totally fine, but this code wraps it in single quotes, which makes word not work as a viable ooxml input anymore.

> gt:::as_css_font_family_attr("My Font", value_only = TRUE)
[1] "'My Font'"

> gt:::as_css_font_family_attr("My_Font", value_only = TRUE)
[1] "My_Font"

Is there a reason to require css formatting the fonts at this step?
