sys_fonts_reset: Refresh the list of system fonts

In gdtools: Font Metrics and Font Management Utilities for R Graphics

Refresh the list of system fonts

Description

The list of system fonts used by sys_fonts() and font_family_exists() is read once per R session, as reading it is slow when many fonts are installed. Call this function after installing a font on the system during the session so that it is found.

It also resets the font cache of 'systemfonts' (systemfonts::reset_font_cache()).

Usage

sys_fonts_reset()

Value

NULL, invisibly.
