Installing Metropolis Fonts as a System Font

For optimal performance and to avoid plot dimension changes, we recommend installing Metropolis as a system font.

Either download the Metropolis font from https://fontsource.org/fonts/metropolis and install it using the standard OS tool. Alternatively, the font files are included in the MSUthemes package at inst/fonts/metropolis_5.1.0/. The following instructions should enable you to install Metropolis as a system font.

macOS

1. Locate the font files: In R, run system.file("fonts/metropolis_5.1.0", package = "MSUthemes") to find the directory
2. Open Finder and navigate to that directory
3. Select all .ttf files
4. Double-click any font file and click “Install Font” in Font Book
5. Restart R/RStudio/VS Code

Windows

1. Locate the font files: In R, run system.file("fonts/metropolis_5.1.0", package = "MSUthemes") to find the directory
2. Open File Explorer and navigate to that directory
3. Select all .ttf files
4. Right-click and select “Install” (or “Install for all users” if available)
5. Restart R/RStudio/VS Code

Linux

1. Locate the font files: In R, run system.file("fonts/metropolis_5.1.0", package = "MSUthemes") to find the directory

2. Copy the .ttf files to ~/.fonts/ (create the directory if it doesn’t exist):

   mkdir -p ~/.fonts
   cp /path/to/MSUthemes/fonts/metropolis_5.1.0/*.ttf ~/.fonts/
   fc-cache -fv

3. Restart R/RStudio/VS Code

If you don’t install Metropolis as a system font, the package will automatically use it via the showtext package, but this may cause slight changes to plot dimensions.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
