gt fmt_percent to PDF not rendering in chosen font

Hello,
I am writing a report that I wish to be able to publish to html and pdf. I would like to use some of the numeric color formatting options in gt. However, when I format percents on a janitor :: tabyl after the gt(), the percent column does not render in the chosen font. The percent column renders in the chosen font if I use the janitor::adorn_functions. But that changes the column to a charachter vector before the gt(), making the gt color options (e.g. data_color) not workable. Any ideas to get the font to print correctly after the gt ::fmt_percent()? I've tried gt: as_latex and that didn't help.

library(janitor)
library(gt)

With gt formatting:


pizza1 <- pizzaplace %>% 
  tabyl(name) %>% 
  gt() %>%
fmt_percent(columns = "percent", decimals = 2)

with tabyl formating

pizza <- pizzaplace %>% 
  tabyl(name) %>% 
  adorn_pct_formatting(digits = 2) %>% 
  gt()
