reset_font_cache: Reset the system font cache

In systemfonts: System Native Font Finding

Reset the system font cache

Description

Building the list of system fonts is time consuming and is therefore cached. This, in turn, means that changes to the system fonts (i.e. installing new fonts), will not propagate to systemfonts. The solution is to reset the cache, which will result in the next call to e.g. match_font() will trigger a rebuild of the cache.

Usage

reset_font_cache()

Examples

all_fonts <- system_fonts()

##-- Install a new font on the system --##

all_fonts_new <- system_fonts()

## all_fonts_new will be equal to all_fonts

reset_font_cache()

all_fonts_new <- system_fonts()

## all_fonts_new will now contain the new font
