Description: Making it easy to use various types of fonts ('TrueType',
        'OpenType', Type 1, web fonts, etc.) in R graphs, and
        supporting most output formats of R graphics including PNG, PDF
        and SVG. Text glyphs will be converted into polygons or raster
        images, hence after the plot has been created, it no longer
        relies on the font files. No external software such as
        'Ghostscript' is needed to use this package.
