Thank you for these suggestions. Google fonts sounds like quite an easy
approach.

If you are ok to use one of the fonts available on google font, you could use 
package gfonts (in Suggests):
https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/gfonts/vignettes/gfonts.html 


As it will be « inline », your document size could inflate (I guess it could be 
an issue with CRAN) - if only one font, size should be ok.

Otherwise, you also could add a css chunk to import the font from a public 
server - if no internet connexion, nothing will break.

Re: [R-pkg-devel] Including fonts in an rmarkdown vignette

2020-06-03 Thread Maëlle SALMON via R-package-devel 
Hi,

I've recently seen an example of a package that provides its own fonts for a 
vignette. See links in 
https://blog.r-hub.io/2020/06/03/vignettes/#pretty-vignettes 


In that same post I link to a workaround I saw on this list 
https://www.mail-archive.com/r-package-devel@r-project.org/msg02921.html for 
changing the vignette format based on the versions of dependencies. Maybe 
something similar is possible for fonts (I have no idea).

Maëlle.

Hi,

I'd like to build a rmarkdown vignette with my own choice of fonts – I'm
pernickety about look and feel.

R CMD check will rebuild vignettes in the vignettes/ directory, and if
relevant fonts aren't on the build machine, it'll give a warning.

Here are the options I can think of:
* build vignettes on my machine and put them in inst/doc. Don't mention the
specific fonts in the Rmd file in vignettes/. So the file built by "R CMD
check" won't look quite like the pre-built version.  This might work, but
it seems against open source principle.
* put font files in vignettes/ and refer to them in the rmarkdown file. I'm
not sure how to do this.
* limit myself to the fonts preinstalled on win-builder or CRAN machines.
I'm not sure what these are

Has anyone got any advice or examples?

Cheers,
David
