Issue using Circular Air-Light 3.46.45 PM.ttf font on Windows10 PC about ggradar

[Rmadillo]

@fbreitwieser that error occurs because that font isn't in your fonts directory, you probably downloaded it to a different directory so the call to font_import can't find it. I did that but then got a warning from my Mac telling me the font had "critical errors" and I could mess up my system (!) if I installed it.

So instead, I just forked this repo, changed line 10 to font.radar="Arial", and installed from my repo instead of this one. I changed nothing else, and it works fine with Arial font.

HTH.

Fork it to your github account (not local), change line 10 there, and then run this from R:

devtools::install_github("GaelleMG/ggradar")

or, just install it from mine:

devtools::install_github("rmadillo/ggradar")

Lemme know if that doesn't work?

Same issue here - Windows 10 gives message "does not appear to be a valid font".

Similar errors on OSX. Please consider using a standard font by default.

@Rmadillo how does one install from a local repo?
I forked this repo, changed line 10 as you mentioned, but cannot install from my repo.
If I try to build it, I get the error:
cannot open file '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.5/Resources/library/ggradar/R/ggradar.rdb': No such file or directory
