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

Late to the party, but this might be of interest for people looking to add custom fonts to their ggplots inside a shiny app on shinyapps.io.

You can:

1. Place custom font in www directory: e.g. IndieFlower.ttf from here
2. Follow the steps from here

This leads to the following upper section inside the app.R file:

dir.create('~/.fonts')
file.copy("www/IndieFlower.ttf", "~/.fonts")
system('fc-cache -f ~/.fonts')

A full example app can be found here.
