R: Get/Set Font Search Paths

font_paths {sysfonts} | R Documentation

## Get/Set Font Search Paths

### Description

The two versions of this function are equivalent, but the "underscore" naming is preferred.

This function gets/sets the search paths for font files. See `font_add()` for details about how sysfonts looks for font files. There is also a complete example showing the usage of these functions in the help page of `font_add()`.

### Usage

    font_paths(new)

    font.paths(new)

### Arguments

`new` | a character vector indicating the search paths to be prepended. If the argument is missing, the function will return the current search paths.

### Details

Default search paths will be assigned when package is loaded:

- For Windows, it is `%windir%\Fonts`, usually expanded into `C:\Windows\Fonts`

- For Mac OS, default paths are `/Library/Fonts` and `~/Library/Fonts` and their subdirectories

- For Linux and other Unix-like OS, `/usr/share/fonts`, `/usr/local/share/fonts`, `~/.fonts`, `~/.local/share/fonts`, and their subdirectories

### Value

The updated search paths.
