The trekfont package contains 107 Star Trek fonts. These are not part of rtrek but rtrek offers a convenient function st_font() for previewing them.

Since accessing these fonts can easily be done directly and doing so is also not a significant purpose of rtrek, this function is only useful if you choose to install optional packages not otherwise required for rtrek. These include showtext, ggplot2, and of course trekfont. As long as you have these packages installed, you do not need to load them explicitly in order to use st_font().

If you call st_font() without passing the family argument, it will return a vector of all available font families.It does so with the font file extensions removed, in contrast to trekfont::trekfonts. This function is only for previewing fonts.

Worf is here to guide your selections, though he has a bit of a one-track mind when it comes to Star Trek universe calligraphy.

The RStudio graphics device in Windows may not show the fonts. It is recommended you use the regular R GUI.

This font previewer does just that. If you want to install and use fonts from trekfont, just do so using sysfonts and showtext. See these packages for details.
