+Provides system native access to the font catalogue.
+
+As font handling varies between systems it is difficult to correctly locate
+installed fonts across different operating systems.
+
+The 'systemfonts' package provides bindings to the native libraries on Windows,
+macOS and Linux for finding font files that can then be used further by e.g.
+graphic devices.
+
+The main use is intended to be from compiled code but 'systemfonts' also
+provides access from R.
