Setting Fallback Fonts in FontFamily Styling is Not Supported

[HasanYousef]

Description

There is an issue already for this bug #25798, but for some reason it has been closed even though it's not fixed yet. This issue should not be closed even if there is inactivity. It is a bug obviously.

This is a critical bug especially if there are multi-languages in the app, let's say an app with both Hebrew and Latin texts. For the Hebrew text you use "HebrewFont" and for Latin text you use "LatinFont", so you should be able to set the fontFamily to "HebrewFont, LatinFont"

Steps to reproduce

This line of code works fine:
<Text style={{ fontFamily: "sans-serif" }}>Hello</Text>
This line of code works fine too:
<Text style={{ fontFamily: "Roboto" }}>Hello</Text>
But this doesn't work:
<Text style={{ fontFamily: "Roboto, sans-serif" }}>Hello</Text>

Yup I believe this is just not supported by React Native but would need further verification
