'Can't use a font in Kotlin Multiplatform

Pretty simple; just created a Compose Multiplatform project from the wizard.

Went ahead and created the Theme; but I wanted to use the same font so I put poppins.ttf inside commonMain/resources/font/.

Then I declared the following in commonMain module:

expect val projectFontFamily: FontFamily

On the commonDesktop module I used:

actual val projectFontFamily: FontFamily = FontFamily(
  Font("font/poppins.ttf")
)

Great, that worked. Now on commonAndroid:

actual val projectFontFamily: FontFamily = FontFamily(
  Font(R.font.poppins)
)

For some reason the R class is not properly being generated and I cannot use R.font.poppins.

If I rename "resources" to "res" and shove the font into res/font/ then it works. (But I just duplicated the font file).

How do I get around doing this?
