Custom fonts with shiny server?

[gummyl...@gmail.com]

How could I load custom fonts to use with shiny server for my online apps? Can you just upload your fonts and use the extrafonts package to install those? Or maybe there's a way to use google web fonts?

Here is a minimal example

require(shiny)

runApp(list(

  ui = bootstrapPage(

    tags$link(

      rel = "stylesheet", 

      href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans"

    ),

    tags$style("h1{font-family: 'Open Sans'}"),

    tags$h1("Test Font"),

    numericInput('n', 'Number of obs', 100),

    plotOutput('plot')

  ),

  server = function(input, output) {

    output$plot <- renderPlot({ hist(runif(input$n)) })

  }

))

oh.. How do I do this for the server code? I want to use a custom font with ggplot2.

Nevermind, I got extrafonts to work. There are some issues with the default cairo options. I had to put options(shiny.usecairo = FALSE) to get the fonts to work.
