Subset system fonts for review, to organize fonts available to systemfonts
Usage
subset_systemfonts(
...,
fonts_df = systemfonts::system_fonts(),
do_plot = FALSE,
return_type = c("data.frame"),
trim_path = TRUE,
do_sort = TRUE,
byCols = c("family", "italic", "weight", "style", "width", "name"),
remove_problem_fonts = TRUE
)Arguments
- ...
additional arguments are passed to
subset()to subset the resulting table accordingly. This argument is first to avoid matching other named arguments below.- fonts_df
data.framefull set of fonts, default usessystemfonts::system_fonts()to include all fonts recognized by systemfonts.- do_plot
logicalwhether to plot the search results using marquee, default FALSE.- return_type
characterstring with return class, default is 'data.frame' which converts the tibble output to data.frame for convenience.- trim_path
logicalwhether to trim the font file path, default TRUE removes the folder by callingbasename().- do_sort
logicalwhether to sort output, using 'byCols'.- byCols
charactercolumns used whendo_sort==TRUE.- remove_problem_fonts
logicaldefault TRUE, whether to check for errors accessing each font family by callingsystemfonts::font_info().
Value
data.frame with font information derived from
systemfonts::system_fonts() and subset according to '...'.
Details
This function provides a convenient method to subset fonts
recognized by systemfonts::system_fonts(), while also sorting
and filtering out "problem fonts". The argument do_plot=TRUE
will visualize the resulting fonts using marquee::marquee_grob().
Note that there are some "problem fonts" which are not recognized by the Freetype API used by systemfonts, which appear to arise from newer font file formats released on MacOS which are not yet recognized by Freetype. Using one of these fonts may cause R crash, therefore some steps were taken to avoid this possibility:
The output will include one new column
"check"with integer number of valid associated font files, usually1for valid, and0for no valid files.The argument
remove_problem_fonts=TRUEremoves any fonts with0, thereby helping to avoid crashing the R session.The function
check_systemfonts_family()will check one or more font family values, returning the integer number of valid font files.
