I--Windows user -- ran into the same problem and found this thread, and it solved the problem beautifully!! Thanks Mr.Rudis for making this package!

i have to noodle a bit on this one. generally, one has to do this (use extrafont to load fonts for PDF and PostScript) for any non-core font for those devices (they have no impact on bitmap devices like PNG and shld not have any bearing on the svglite device). For someone like myself with an insane amount of fonts on his system, I loadfonts introduces a very noticeable delay and i only do it for work projects that need PDF output (which is about 8x a year).

if i added an option check (i.e. test for hrbrloadfonts) then that's an extra bit of code folks have to run anyway vs just use an extra line of code (or 2) to do the loadfonts.

Perhaps @bhaskarvk & @davidski can toss some opines here regarding ^^l

Unfortunately, loadfonts is required to make fonts available even to the Windows bitmap device. Without attaching extrafont, theme_ipsum_rc will still fail to use the correct font and throw warnings on Windows.

I've also struggled with the "to load extrafont or not to load" question and and currently am doing an attachment in my code. My audience is far smaller and narrower, so simply documenting that library(extrafont) is required for Windows users may be a good choice for now.

the update I just made shld take care of this. I tried a compromise solution to both Windows and PDF/PS fonts. Win is autoloaded (since I'll never have to deal with that :-) and i made a global pkg option for the PDF/PS load. Also added a font presence check on pkg startup.

working perfectly for me. (btw most of us blame our employers for the windows situation...)
thanks for such prompt attention to an issue that doesn't affect you!
