Using Fonts in PDF Files
Problem
You want to use fonts other than the basic ones provided by R in a PDF file.
Solution
The extrafont package can be used to create PDF files with different fonts.
There are a number of steps involved, beginning with some one-time setup.
Download and install
Ghostscript
,
then run the following in R:
install.packages(
"extrafont"
)
library(extrafont)
# Find and save information about fonts installed on your system
font_import()
# List the fonts
fonts()
After the one-time setup is done, there are tasks you need to do in each R session:
library(extrafont)
# Register the fonts with R
loadfonts()
