== Installation ==

[[R/InstallingPackages|Install]] the `sysfonts` package.

----



== Usage ==

If a font must be downloaded from the internet, try:

{{{
download.file(uri, basename(uri))
untar(basename(uri), compressed = "gzip")
}}}

With the font file available locally, try:

{{{
sysfonts::font_add("myfont", r"(path/to/myfontdir/myfont.otf)")
}}}

Alternatively, add the font file to the search path so that it can be used without a path.

{{{
library(sysfonts)
font_paths("path/to/myfontdir")
font_add("myfont", regular = "myfont.otf")
}}}

In any case, it is likely necessary to now use [[R/Showtext|showtext]] to rasterize the fonts added.
