Greetings --
Submitted this a little while ago -- for some reason, still being held
up by the moderator. Trying again...
For a host of reasons, I need to use/embed Garamond font with various R
graphics for a particular publication. I've figured out how to more or
less get there from here, using the following sequence:
library(extrafont)
Then, I need to import the system fonts (Windoze box, R 3.1.0).
So, I use
font_import()
But, this takes a *huge* amount of time, and often throws errors as it
chokes on various fonts (I have probably 250+ fonts installed). I only
want *one* font (Garamond). But, for the life of me, I can't figure out
how to get font_import to select only the single font I want. In theory
font_import(paths = NULL, recursive = TRUE, prompt = TRUE, pattern = NULL)
as defaults, where pattern is a regex that font filenames must match.
The file name for Garamong is gara.ttf, so I tried
font_import(pattern="gara")
R responds with 'Importing fonts make take a few minutes, depending on
the...etc, etc'.
Continue? [y/n]
Hit 'y', and am presented with
Scanning ttf files in C:\Windows\Fonts ...
Extracting .afm files from .ttf files...
Error in data.frame(fontfile = ttfiles, FontName = "", stringsAsFactors
= FALSE) :
arguments imply differing number of rows: 0, 1
I have no idea what to do with this.
Suggestions/pointers to the obvious welcome. And I thought futzing with
fonts in LaTeX was fun! ;-)
