Thomas Williams has a change of font:
Setting a different font is a minor tweak to an R Markdown file that might help it fit better with a corporate or company look. Google Fonts is an industry-accepted method to reference fonts on web pages and can be used with R Markdown rendered by Shiny. There’s no need to download anything while developing the R Markdown file in RStudio, or viewing it in a web browser from a Shiny server.
I’ve recently used this technique to integrate the “Atkinson Hyperlegible” font, a font with “…greater legibility and readability for low vision readers…” from https://brailleinstitute.org/freefont. Since Shiny themes already specify a font, the steps below show how to override that with the Google Font, demo’d with the
spacelabShiny theme.
