Updates to ragg and systemfonts

This article is originally published at https://www.tidyverse.org/blog/

We’re thrilled to announce the new releases of ragg and systemfonts. ragg is a package that provides a modern set of raster devices as alternatives to the ones you know from the grDevices package (e.g. png()). systemfonts is a low level package that provides font-related utilities to graphic devices, most importantly detecting and matching fonts to the correct font files across systems. While these are not the most flashy of releases, we thought it would be a good time to discuss some of our thoughts on the future of graphics in R, especially related to fonts.
