Make all of your plots made in ggplot use consistent fonts

Have you ever struggled with keeping fonts consistent across all your data visualizations? It's a common headache, but I've got a solution that'll make your life easier!

In my latest blog post, I dive into a couple of little tricks using ggplot2 that'll help you maintain font consistency without having to manually adjust each plot. Here's what I cover:

  1. Using the theme_set() function to apply a consistent theme across all your plots

  2. Leveraging update_geom_defaults() to set default font families for specific geoms (like text labels on your charts)

These simple techniques can save you tons of time and ensure your visualizations look polished and professional. No more mismatched fonts or tedious repetitive coding!
