Iam trying to import windows fonts into R/R.Stuido (both latest versions used with Windows 10). Some time ago I was successful on another Windows 10 device using this code:

install.packages("pkgbuild")
library(extrafont)
library(remotes)
remotes::install_version("Rttf2pt1", version = "1.3.8")
extrafont::font_import()

When I tried to re-run that one on the actual device I am running into troubles with the installation of the respective Rttf2pt1 version. It seems to run into installation problems as the the error message is as follows:

Any ideas how to solve the problem? Thank you for your help

I could solve it by copy-paste the package from my older PC.

I see that you installed the Rtools on C:/Program Files/.

Try to uninstall the Rtools, then reinstall it to the default installation path, C:/rtools40.

I hope it fixes your problem. It fixed mine.

If the newer version of the Rttf2pt1 package is currently installed on your PC, remove it. Then follow the solution provided in this link to install the older version (1.3.8) from a CRAN repository. In your case, this code will solve it:

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Rttf2pt1/Rttf2pt1_1.3.8.tar.gz"

install.packages(url, repos=NULL, type="source")
