Include fonts in inst/

[seasmith]

Including the fonts in inst/ would make these fonts accessible to R code via system.file() -- allowing them to be be registered and loaded via extrafont within the vapoRwave package.

The DESCRIPTION file would need to reflect the font authors, copyright holders, etc. Most of the fonts seem to not have any license restrictions prohibiting this kind of distribution.

Thank you for the useful issue @seasmith I'll be sure to address this.

I'm also having some trouble getting the fonts to work, even when doing this. Has anyone had any luck? Could we make a Docker image?

Hello @mrbuche,

Apologies for the delayed response, and thank you for your patience 😊 Could you please specify the operating system you are using?

I've implemented a zzz.R file that streamlines font installation for Ubuntu users. For Windows users, I've documented additional manual steps in the README. Please note that the MacOS compatibility is yet to be tested 🚀

I appreciate your suggestion, and I'm considering creating a Docker image in the near future to enhance accessibility. Your feedback is valuable, and I'm committed to improving the user experience ♿

Thank you again for bringing this to my attention @seasmith ❤️

@moldach thank you so much for your response!

I was using WSL in Windows but since then I have an actual Ubuntu OS. Tried it today, works great! I bet the extra stuff you added lately works for Windows.
