Path of the font used for text labels

Text labels are drawn with a TrueType font that ships with the package (inst/extdata/Inter-Regular.ttf, SIL Open Font License 1.1), so labels look the same everywhere and no system font is required. This function returns the path of the font that will be used by default.

Usage

default_font()

Value

A character scalar: the path to an existing font file.

Details

It can be overridden without touching any code by setting the SCIMESH_FONT environment variable to the path of another .ttf file, or per call by passing font_file to text_layer(), text_extent() and friends.
