Using FontAwesome in R script

[Katalo]

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.

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?
