DejaVu fonts are needed to build from source

[sukanka]

The problem

Without dejavu fonts, it will fail to be built from source, a detailed log is as follows:

==> Starting build()...
* installing *source* package ‘ggiraph’ ...
** package ‘ggiraph’ successfully unpacked and MD5 sums checked
** using staged installation

The reason

The default_fonts on Linux is set to DejaVu fonts, see

ggiraph/R/fonts.R

Lines 2 to 21 in 0fc5995

	default_fonts <- list(
	windows = c(
	sans = "Arial",
	serif = "Times New Roman",
	mono = "Courier New",
	symbol = "Symbol"
	),
	osx = c(
	sans = "Helvetica",
	serif = "Times",
	mono = "Courier",
	symbol = "Symbol"
	),
	unix = c(
	sans = "DejaVu Sans",
	serif = "DejaVu serif",
	mono = "DejaVu mono",
	symbol = "DejaVu Sans"
	)
	)

But in a clean archlinux chroot, ttf-dejavu is not installed by default. So when building this package, ttf-dejavu should be installed first to avoid the above problem.

Could you please mention DejaVu fonts are needed on Linux in readme?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for reporting this, I can reproduce. We will try to fix (or whatever will appear to be the correct solution) and if not possible we will document it as you suggested.
