Parameters
context	Context: A context to be used for fetching from font provider.
request	Context: A FontRequest object that identifies the provider and query for the request. May not be null.
callback	Context: A callback that will be triggered when results are obtained. May not be null.
handler	Context: A handler to be processed the font fetching.
