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.
