GPL-3 | file LICENSE
Description
Compute text metrics (width, ascent, descent) using 'Cairo' and 'FreeType', independently of the active graphic device. Font lookup is delegated to 'systemfonts'. Additional utilities let users register 'Google Fonts' or bundled 'Liberation' fonts, 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'.
