Including web fonts in RMarkdown
I didn't see this anywhere online, so I thought I'd quickly write up how to add web fonts to a RMarkdown presentation.
You have a RMarkdown presentation using ioslides:
---
title: "Best Presentation Ever"
author: "Finbarr Timbers"
date: "January 19, 2017"
output: ioslides_presentation
css: assets/styles.css
logo: assets/logo.png
incremental: true
widescreen: true
---
Create a file header.html
including a link to the fonts you want to use in the
same folder as your RMarkdown document
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans" rel="stylesheet">
Then, add an includes
section to the header of your RMarkdown document:
---
title: "Best Presentation Ever"
author: "Finbarr Timbers"
date: "January 19, 2017"
output:
ioslides_presentation:
includes: header.html
css: assets/styles.css
logo: assets/logo.png
incremental: true
widescreen: true
---
You're done! Should work properly.
