Awesome Font Name and Family

[gibran-ali]

Hi,

Thanks for making this awesome package. I am still a beginner so I may be missing something obvious. On Windows 10, I am unable to create any of the carts that Font Awesome glyphs. I did some digging and in the extrafontsdb/fontmap/fonttable.csv, the font name and font table for the Font Awesome fonts do not match what has been specified in the waffle.R file.

glyph_font = "Font Awesome 5 Free Solid",glyph_font_family = "FontAwesome5Free-Solid"

Are you sure this is correct? In the fonttable.csv, it seems to be flipped. I want to understand if there is something wrong with the way I installed these font.

Thanks.

Try setting family = "Font Awesome 5 Free Solid" inside geom_pictogram()

I have the same problem, and I have struggled for weeks on it. I have looked at all Stack Overflow answers, all issues on this, and nothing works. There is something wrong with the package itself. There should not be so many people having this problem with the same font.

Error: Font [Font Awesome 5 Free Solid] not found. Please install it and use extrafont to make it available to R

Duplicate of #67, probably.

Here is an actual reprex for posteriority, including the suggested family = "Font Awesome 5 Free Solid" inside geom_pictogram() solution:

library(extrafont)
#> Registering fonts with R
grep("Awesome", fonts(), value = TRUE)
#> [1] "Font Awesome 5 Brands Regular" "Font Awesome 5 Free Solid"

library(ggplot2)
library(waffle)
suppressMessages(library(dplyr))

data.frame(
  parts = factor(rep(month.abb[1:3], 3), levels=month.abb[1:3]),
  vals = c(10, 20, 30, 6, 14, 40, 30, 20, 10),
  col = rep(c("blue", "black", "red"), 3),
  fct = c(rep("Thing 1", 3),
          rep("Thing 2", 3),
          rep("Thing 3", 3))
) -> xdf

xdf %>%
  count(parts, wt = vals) %>%
  ggplot(aes(label = parts, values = n)) +
  geom_pictogram(n_rows = 10, aes(colour = parts), flip = TRUE, make_proportional = TRUE,
                 family = "Font Awesome 5 Free Solid") +
  scale_color_manual(
    name = NULL,
    values = c("#a40000", "#c68958", "#ae6056"),
    labels = c("Fruit", "Sammich", "Pizza")
  ) +
  scale_label_pictogram(
    name = NULL,
    values = c("apple-alt", "bread-slice", "pizza-slice"),
    labels = c("Fruit", "Sammich", "Pizza"))
