extrafont (version 0.13)

choose_font: Choose an installed font from a list

Usage

choose_font(fonts, quiet = TRUE)

Arguments

fonts
character List of font family names to try.
quiet
logical Do not print warning if the preferred font not found.

Value

  • character. First font in fonts that is installed on the system or "" if none of those are installed.

Examples

Run this code
choose_font(c("GillSans",  "Verdana", "sans"), quiet = TRUE)
choose_font(c("BemeboStd", "Garamond", "serif"), quiet = TRUE)
