Install error: error loading sysfonts about hexsticker HOT 9 CLOSED

for MacOS users, do you have XQuartz installed?

Installing XQuartz solved the problem for me! Thanks @GuangchuangYu

Error : .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'sysfonts', details:

you need to re-install sysfonts.

from hexsticker.

Same error (macOS 10.13.2, R 3.4.x); tried remove.packages(sysfonts); install.packages(sysfonts) and still get same error. The referenced file is in fact in that folder. Not sure if it's a permissions error or something trying to call the binary object.

I am getting this same error as well.

I can install the sysfonts package without any problem, and can run functions like sysfonts::font_files() and sysfonts::font_paths() interactively. The output I get is sensible and nothing breaks.

> sysfonts::font_paths()
[1] "/Library/Fonts"                  "/Users/juliasilge/Library/Fonts"

When I use the reprex package and run the same code, I get the error:

sysfonts::font_paths()
#> Error: .onLoad failed in loadNamespace() for 'sysfonts', details:
#>   call: dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...)
#>   error: unable to load shared object '/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.4/Resources/library/sysfonts/libs/sysfonts.so':
#>   dlopen(/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.4/Resources/library/sysfonts/libs/sysfonts.so, 6): Library not loaded: /opt/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
#>   Referenced from: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.4/Resources/library/sysfonts/libs/sysfonts.so
#>   Reason: image not found

I am not 100% sure everything that reprex does, but it seems like something is going on with the user or permissions or session or something? And the installation process is obviously more like reprex than like whatever I am doing interactively.

I am having exactly the same problem as described above, with the same error messages. Would appreciate any support you could provide with regards to this issue.

Installing XQuartz did not solve the problem for me

This is addressed in #56.

Installing XQuartz worked for me too. Thanks @GuangchuangYu !
