match_font

This function locates the font file (and index) best matching a name and
optional style (italic/bold). A font file will be returned even if a match
isn't found, but it is not necessarily similar to the requested family and
it should not be relied on for font substitution. The aliases <code>"sans"</code>,
<code>"serif"</code>, and <code>"mono"</code> match to the system default sans-serif, serif, and
mono fonts respectively (<code>""</code> is equivalent to <code>"sans"</code>).

Provides system native access to the font catalogue. As font
handling varies between systems it is difficult to correctly locate
installed fonts across different operating systems. The 'systemfonts'
package provides bindings to the native libraries on Windows, macOS
and Linux for finding font files that can then be used further by e.g.
graphic devices. The main use is intended to be from compiled code but
'systemfonts' also provides access from R.
