What is the way to add images and font assets to a compose desktop project and how will they be referenced in code?

Add your fonts to the

resource

directory and use them like this:

val JosefinSans = fontFamily(
    font(alias = "JosefinSans-Light", path = "JosefinSans-Light.ttf", weight = FontWeight.W300)
)

Here, JosefinSans-Light.ttf is in the resource directory. You can create a sub folder for fonts.
