gt-opt_table_font – The gt package

The `opt_table_font()` function

Use a subset of the sp500 dataset to create a small gt table. We’ll use fmt_currency() to display a dollar sign for the first row of monetary values. The "Merriweather" font (from Google Fonts, via google_font()) with two system font fallbacks ("Cochin" and the generic "serif").

      "Cochin", "serif"
    )
  )

With the sza dataset we’ll create a two-column, eleven-row table. Within opt_table_font(), the stack argument will be supplied with the "rounded-sans" font stack. This sets up a family of fonts with rounded, curved letterforms that should be locally available in different computing environments.

    latitude == 20 &

  gt() |>
  opt_table_font(stack = "rounded-sans") |>
