Changing fonts in ggplot2

Question

Once upon a time, I changed my ggplot2 font using using windowsFonts(Times=windowsFont(\"TT Times New Roman\")) to change it. Now I can\'t get it

Answer 1

A simple answer if you don't want to install anything new

To change all the fonts in your plot plot + theme(text=element_text(family="mono")) Where mono is your chosen font.

List of default font options:

• mono
• sans
• serif
• Courier
• Helvetica
• Times
• AvantGarde
• Bookman
• Helvetica-Narrow
• NewCenturySchoolbook
• Palatino
• URWGothic
• URWBookman
• NimbusMon
• URWHelvetica
• NimbusSan
• NimbusSanCond
• CenturySch
• URWPalladio
• URWTimes
• NimbusRom

R doesn't have great font coverage and, as Mike Wise points out, R uses different names for common fonts.
