Recent Releases of unhcrthemes

unhcrthemes - unhcrthemes 0.7.1

Breaking changes

  • Removed the dependency on {extrafont}, as its dependency {Rttf2pt1} is scheduled for removal from CRAN.
  • The function lato_registered(), which verified if Lato was registered through {extrafont}, has been removed.
  • The function import_lato() now only imports Lato via {systemfonts}.

Notes

  • This change does not affect the use of {unhcrthemes} in general workflows.
  • However, it limits the possibility to create PDFs with the official Lato font embedded. Users can still rely on system-installed fonts for consistent rendering.
