This package contains true type and open type Star Trek fonts.






## Installation



Install `trekfont` from CRAN with



``` r

install.packages("trekfont")

```



Install the development version from GitHub with



``` r

# install.packages("remotes")

remotes::install_github("leonawicz/trekfont")

```



## Examples



`trekfonts` contains one dataset, `trekfonts`, which is just a character vector of all 107 available font files.



Font files can be installed using the [sysfonts](https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=sysfonts) package.



Here are some examples, leveraging `sysfonts` and `showtext`.



```{r font_setup, eval=FALSE}

# install.packages("trekfont")

library(showtext)

font <- c("Khan", "StarNext", "FederationDS9Title", "Federation", "Klingon", "ModernVulcan", "TNGcast", "FederationStarfleet")

path <- system.file(paste0("fonts/", font, ".ttf"), package = "trekfont")

for(i in seq_along(font)) font_add(font[i], path[i])

font_families()

showtext_auto()

```



Use base graphics...



```{r font_plot, eval=FALSE}

y <- seq(0.1, 0.9, length.out = 7)

txt <- "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog"

plot(0, 0, type = "n", ylim = c(0, 1), main = "trekfont package font sample", family = font[8])

for(i in 1:7) text(0, y[i], txt, family = font[i])

```



or ggplot2...



```{r font_ggplot, eval=FALSE}

library(ggplot2)

g <- ggplot() + theme_gray(base_family = font[8]) + ggtitle("trekfont package font sample")

for(i in 1:7) g <- g + annotate("text", 0, y[i], label = txt, family = font[i], size = 12.5)

g

```






Did you ever think you would be annotating your plots in Vulcan and Klingon?



The [rtrek](https://github.com/leonawicz/rtrek) package does not import `trekfont`, but it does provide a convenient wrapper function, `rtrek::st_font()`, for previewing the various fonts if `trekfont` is installed. This is the example plot shown at the top.
