Usage

First make sure to have all your fonts - and specifically Lato - registered with R

# install.packages("extrafont")
library(extrafont)
font_import()
extrafont::loadfonts(device="postscript")

# install.packages('showtext', dependencies = TRUE)
library(showtext)

# Check the current search path for fonts
allfontpath <- font_paths()    

# List available font files in the search path
allfont <- font_files()    

# syntax: font_add(family = "<family_name>", regular = "/path/to/font/file")
font_add("Lato", "Lato-Regular.ttf")

font_families()
## automatically use showtext for new devices
showtext_auto()

Then, install this package from Github:

remotes::install_github('unhcr-web/unhcRstyle')

Once the package installed, you should be able to create directly your report with the right template within Rstudio:
