gdtools: Font Metrics and Font Management Utilities for R Graphics
Compute text metrics (width, ascent, descent), with or
without kerning, from font files with 'FreeType', independently of the
active graphic device. Font lookup is delegated to 'systemfonts'.
Additional utilities let users register 'Google Fonts', the bundled
'Liberation' fonts or the bundled math font 'STIX Two Math', check font
availability, and assemble 'htmlDependency' objects so that fonts are
correctly embedded in 'Shiny' applications, 'R Markdown' documents,
and 'htmlwidgets' outputs such as 'ggiraph'.
