font_face: Create a font-face specification

Description

Webfonts in SVG and HTML can either be specified manually using the @font-face at-rule, or imported from e.g. Google Fonts using the @import at-rule. font_face() helps you create a valid @font-face block for the web_fonts argument in svglite() and svgstring() functions.

Usage

font_face(
  family,
  woff2 = NULL,
  woff = NULL,
  ttf = NULL,
  otf = NULL,
  eot = NULL,
  svg = NULL,
  local = NULL,
  weight = NULL,
  style = NULL,
  range = NULL,
  variant = NULL,
  stretch = NULL,
  feature_setting = NULL,
  variation_setting = NULL
)

Value

A character string with the @font-face block.

Arguments

family: The font family name this font should respond to.
woff2, woff, ttf, otf, eot, svg: URLs to the font in different formats. At least one must be given. Best browser support is provided by the woff format.
local: One or more font names that local installations of the font may have. If a local font is found with either of the given names it will be used and no download will happen.
weight: An optional value for the font-weight descriptor
style: An optional value for the font-style descriptor
range: An optional value for the unicode-range descriptor Will give the range of unicode values that this font will support
variant: An optional value for the font-variant descriptor
