jupyter notebook

[slowkow]

Hi Yixuan,

I wonder if you might have an idea why showtext is not working as expected in the Jupyter notebook. Is there any way I can try to debug this?

Here's a notebook showing that showtext is actually working, but not when it is displayed automatically by Jupyter...

In other words, I have to save the figure to a file and then show the file with:

library(imager)
im <- load.image("showtext-ex2.png")
plot(im, axes = FALSE)

Is it possible to modify showtext to display by default in a Jupyter notebook?

Do you know any workarounds?

I am not 100% sure, but have you tried to use the showtext_auto() function to automatically enable showtext?

I have, and it doesn't work. Thanks for the suggestion!
