font family not found in Windows font database

[jcpsantiago]

None of the fonts is working for me on Windows 10. I can use roboto and ibm plex (and Arial Narrow) outside of Rstudio.

This won't work for me, resulting in a plot with R's default font (vanilla Arial?)

library(hrbrthemes)
library(tidyverse)

import_roboto_condensed()

ggplot(mtcars, aes(mpg, wt)) +
  geom_point() +
  labs(x="Fuel effiiency (mpg)", y="Weight (tons)",
       title="Seminal ggplot2 scatterplot example",
       subtitle="A plot that is only useful for demonstration purposes",
       caption="Brought to you by the letter 'g'") + 
  theme_ipsum_rc()

I'm using R 3.4.2, Rstudio 1.1.383 and the latest theme package ‘0.5.0’.

Installed the fonts from the hrbrthemes folder and that fixed it. Maybe I had the wrong version of the fonts installed on my system. Anyway it's working now

[jcpsantiago]

Sorry.. seems to work for roboto and titillium, but not ibm plex or arial narrow, even after installing the fonts from the R directory. and running import_plex_sans

Windows can do some weird things w/r/t fonts. Can you paste the output of sessionInfo()? I may be able to recreate the environment in a VM and troubleshoot.

I seem to have managed to get things working now. The trick for me was to 1) make sure that the fonts were installed in the "C:\Windows\Fonts" folder (it seems that Windows can sometimes show a font as installed even if it's in another location); 2) manually call extrafont::font_import(); 3) Restart R and call library(hrhrthemes) again.

Calling extrafont::loadfonts(device="win") solved the issue for me. Only needed once.

[johnmackintosh]

import_roboto_condensed + extrafont::loadfonts(device ='win') + restart worked for me

[rickyars]

Installed the fonts from the hrbrthemes folder and that fixed it. Maybe I had the wrong version of the fonts installed on my system. Anyway it's working now

Can you explain how you did this?

A message pops up with a path: "You will likely need to install these fonts on your system as well.

You can find them in [C:/Users/username/AppData/Local/R/win-library/4.2/hrbrthemes/fonts/roboto-condensed]"

Just go to settings - personalize and install the fonts from there.
