Below are presented the 5 steps you need to make your plot a Hylian one! May the triforce be with you!
Open R and download the font
The Triforce font is available on line.
Below we download it using R. Alternatively, you may simply download and install
it using a couple of clicks, if you proceed so, skip step 1.

If you have installed the font on your computer, it should be in the list,
then you can skip step 4.
Add a path to your font
If you have downloaded the font using R, you must notify showtext about to
folder dr where the font has been stored. To so do, use the font_paths()
function:
1

font_paths(".")
#R> [1] "/home/kevcaz/Github/Websites/inSileco.github.io/content/post/archived/hylianStyle"
#R> [2] "/home/kevcaz/.local/share/fonts"
#R> [3] "/usr/local/share/fonts"
...
#R> [145] "/usr/share/fonts/X11/util"
|
Add the Triforce font to your session:
Either way, the Triforce font should now be available

font_add(family = 'Triforce', regular = 'Triforce.ttf')
font_families()
