web-fonts: Download and add web font

In systemfonts: System Native Font Finding

Download and add web font

Description

In order to use a font in R it must first be made available locally. These functions facilitate the download and registration of fonts from online repositories.

Usage

get_from_google_fonts(family, dir = "~/fonts", woff2 = FALSE)

get_from_font_squirrel(family, dir = "~/fonts")

Arguments

family	The font family to download (case insensitive)
dir	Where to download the font to. The default places it in your user local font folder so that the font will be available automatically in new R sessions. Set to tempdir() to only keep the font for the session.
woff2	Should the font be downloaded in the woff2 format (smaller and more optimized)? Defaults to FALSE as the format is not supported on all systems

Value

A logical invisibly indicating whether a font was found and downloaded or not
