Hello, Im trying to make a waffle chart in Power BI desktop using R, and i would like to use icons from FontAwesome.
Im getting the following code to work in a Open R but when I use it in the R console i Power BI it gives me an error saying FontAwesome not found.
Here is the code I run:
install.packages(c("waffle", "extrafont")) library(waffle) library(extrafont) font_import(pattern = 'fontawesome-webfont') loadfonts(device = "win") waffle(c(50, 30, 15, 5), rows = 5, use_glyph = "user", glyph_size = 6)
Is there some other font I can use for icons or how do I get Power BI to find FontAwesome
Hi @Katalo
Do you download "downloaded Font Awesome" in your server?
Here is a similar issue with solution, please check it and give me feedback if it helps.
Font Awesome in R, loaded but not found by waffle

I have tried the steps in that post, but still get FontAwesome not found.
When i use this code in R open I get an image:
library(waffle) library(extrafont) font_import(pattern = 'fontawesome-webfont') loadfonts(device = "win") waffle(c(50, 30, 15, 5), rows = 5, use_glyph = "user", glyph_size = 6)
However, i have to do it in steps and after font_import i have to give R open an answer to this question:
Importing fonts may take a few minutes, depending on the number of fonts and the speed of the system. Continue? [y/n] y
After that I can make the waffle chart and get an image with the correct icon.
But when i use the above code in PBI R console I get an Error saying Font Awesome not found.
Can I skip the font_import somehow maybe?
