unhcrthemes (development version)

unhcrthemes 0.7.1

Breaking changes

• Removed the dependency on extrafont, as its dependency Rttf2pt1 is scheduled for removal from CRAN.
  
• The function lato_registered(), which verified if Lato was registered through extrafont, has been removed.
  
• The function import_lato() now only imports Lato via systemfonts.

Notes

• This change does not affect the use of unhcrthemes in general workflows.
  
• However, it limits the possibility to create PDFs with the official Lato font embedded. Users can still rely on system-installed fonts for consistent rendering.
