### Plotting *with fonts* (and text stuff)

- [r-lib/ragg](https://github.com/r-lib/ragg/): Alternative output device which, among general performance/quality improvements, also eases the inclusion of system fonts.
- [rstudio/thematic](https://github.com/rstudio/thematic/) (WIP): Auto-theming depending on context, easy styling using [rstudio/bootstraplib](https://github.com/rstudio/bootstraplib) in RMarkdown/shiny/RStudio(!). The latter is also WIP.
- [yixuan/showtext](https://github.com/yixuan/showtext): For plotting with fonts, including the easy inclusion of Google fonts.
- [wch/extrafont](https://github.com/wch/extrafont): Probably maybe required to use fonts for PDF output (using `cairo_pdf`)? I still don't quite understand it, but `extrafont::loadfonts()` tends to do more good than harm.
