Where the google fonts are located in inside Sysfonts?

melgoussi · June 23, 2023, 4:05pm

Hi..
according to the definition of the font_add_google, the function will search the Google Fonts repository (https://fonts.google.com/) for a specified family name, download the proper font files, and then add them to sysfonts.

i looked at the sysfonts library, i could not allocate the font in it.
I would like to know where it will be added or installed (location)

Thanks

It download the fonts into temporary directory:

github.com

yixuan/sysfonts/blob/master/R/google.R#L133


      
              }
              
              ind
          }
          
          
# Download font file and return the path of destination
          download_font_file = function(url, repo = "http://fonts.gstatic.com/", handle = curl::new_handle())
          {
              ## We need to use curl package here
              
              dest = file.path(tempdir(), basename(url))
              
              if(repo != "http://fonts.gstatic.com/")
              {
                  url_repo = gsub("http://fonts.gstatic.com/", repo, url)
                  tryCatch(
                      
                      ## Try the user-specified repository
                      {
                          curl::curl_download(url_repo, dest, handle = handle)
                      },

and removes files on unload:

github.com

yixuan/sysfonts/blob/master/R/zzz.R#L8


      
          .onLoad = function(libname, pkgname) {
              library.dynam("sysfonts", pkgname, libname)
              add_default_font_paths()
              add_default_fonts()
          }
          
          
.onUnload = function(libpath) {
              clean_fonts()
              library.dynam.unload("sysfonts", libpath)
          }
