r-extrafont 0.17 Tools for using fonts in R
The extrafont package makes it easier to use fonts other than the basic PostScript fonts that R uses. Fonts that are imported into extrafont can be used with PDF or PostScript output files. There are two hurdles for using fonts in PDF (or Postscript) output files:
Making R aware of the font and the dimensions of the characters.
Embedding the fonts in the PDF file so that the PDF can be displayed properly on a device that doesn't have the font. This is usually needed if you want to print the PDF file or share it with others.
The extrafont package makes both of these things easier.
