add_web_fonts: Add web font imports to an already created SVG file

In svglite: An 'SVG' Graphics Device

Add web font imports to an already created SVG file

Description

This function allows you to add web fonts after creation. The result is the same as using the web_fonts argument in svglite(). Only SVGs created with svglite can get web fonts added.

Usage

add_web_fonts(filename, web_fonts)

Arguments

filename

The svgfile(s) or svg object(s) (as created by svgstring()) to edit

web_fonts

A list containing web fonts to use in the SVG. The fonts will still need to be available locally on the computer running the code, but viewers of the final SVG will not need the font if specified as a web font. Web fonts can either be specified using font_face() or given as a single string in which case they are taken to be URL's for an ⁠@import⁠ directive to e.g. Google Fonts. For the latter, you can use fonts_as_import() to automatically generate the string, optionally embedding the font data in it. If the passed in string is not in the form of a URL or ⁠@import⁠ statement then it is considered a font family name and fonts_as_import() will be called to convert it to an import automatically, using the default arguments.

Value

Invisibly returns filename. If any of elements of this were inline SVGs then these have been modified to include the imports
