In the docs [FString in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.1 Documentation](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-us/Programming/UnrealArchitecture/StringHandling/FString) the example for rendering an FText uses “FCanvasTextItem TextItem( FVector2D::ZeroVector, TestHUDText, BigFont, FLinearColor::Black);” which uses BigFont as a text, but does not show its initialization. Is there some kind of default font so I don’t have to import one and reference a directory?
