Unable to load library(flextable) due to systemfonts

[DiqiZeng]

I successfully install the package but run into issue when loading the package through library(flextable)

Error message:

library(flextable)
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘flextable’:
object ‘match_fonts’ is not exported by 'namespace:systemfonts'

I tried

1. reintsall R studio
2. reinstall systemfonts
3. intall flextable from github source

I think you should update gdtools

Greetings...

Upon updating gdtools, I received the same message our peer in the initial comment received regarding 'flextable'. I too can no longer use this phenomenal package. Any insight into how to fix this would be appreciated. Error message: Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘gdtools’:
object ‘match_fonts’ is not exported by 'namespace:systemfonts'

[davidgohel]

Yes, please try:

install.packages("systemfonts")
install.packages("gdtools")

Appreciated...upon attempts to load the flextable package and gdtools, I receive the following errors:

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘gdtools’:
object ‘match_fonts’ is not exported by 'namespace:systemfonts'

Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘flextable’:
object ‘match_fonts’ is not exported by 'namespace:systemfonts'

I am running R version 4.4.2

Did you follow the instructions I provided ?

[DrChar614]

Yes, just as you listed above. Tomorrow I will try this from a different computer and see what results I get. I will follow-up. Your time is appreciated!
