when I use rstudio in win11, I cannot use custom fonts for ggplot, I look previous question about this in Stack Overflow but none of them help me. I run a simple code:
ggplot(mtcars, aes(hp, mpg)) +
geom_point() +
theme(text = element_text(family = "Noto Mono"))
and these warnings shown in Console:
> warnings()
Warning messages:

How to fix this?
I want to use Vazirmatn for adding some Persian text as label, title & etc. I installed Vazirmatn & Noto Mono in my device, none of my installed font works with element_text(family = "my_font_family")
did you use extrafont library?
You can change the font of ggplot function in R by using extrafont package1. Here are the steps:
Install extrafont package using this command:
install.packages("extrafont")
Load extrafont package:
library(extrafont)
Import Vazirmatn font:
font_import(pattern = "Vazirmatn")
Register Vazirmatn font:
loadfonts(device = "win")
Use Vazirmatn font in ggplot function:
ggplot(data = mtcars, aes(x = wt, y = mpg)) + geom_point() +
theme(text=element_text(family="Vazirmatn"))
