Folks,
I run R on a early 2009 MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion.
I have a bunch of fonts in my user Library one of which is Garamond.
I have tried the ttf_import function to no avail. I played with this for a
couple of hours at least and I have gotten nowhere.
Here is a bit of one of my sessions (note that I used file.choose to get down to
the Font level)
> require(extrafont)
Loading required package: extrafont
Registering fonts with R

Description Monotype Drawing Office 1922. This typeface is based on roman types
cut by Jean Jannon in 1615. Jannon followed the designs of Claude Garamond which
had been cut in the previous century. Garamond's types were, in turn, based
on those used by Aldus Manutius in 1495 and cut by Francesco Griffo. The italic
is based on types cut in France circa 1557 by Robert Granjon. Garamond is a
beautiful typeface with an air of informality which looks good in a wide range
of applications. It works particularly well in books and lengthy text settings.
