Sometimes you want to use some custom fonts in your ggplot2 graphics. Years ago there was a good article in [revolutionanalytics.com]. But this article states that if you want to use otf-fonts instead of ttf-fonts you have to use some experimental packages: 1 2 3 library(devtools) install_github('wch/Rttf2pt1') install_github('wch/extrafont') But as time goes by the evolution of R-packages progresses. So now you can use otf-fonts in ggplot2 graphics. I’m using Source Code Pro as custom font because I can identify this font really good because of its “zeros”.

I really like to work with R. So I want to share here some of my experience, tips and tricks I use in my daily work. Most of the time I use the following R-packages: ggplot2 dplyr RGoogleAnalytics knitr
