font_import() failed to 'CreateProcess' on Win7 32bit SP1

Hi @madlogos and @wch,

I encountered the same problem on windows-32 bit. It seems that the compiled CRAN version of Rttf2pt1 does not contain a 32-bit binary. A quick workaround is to install it from source:

devtools::install_github("wch/Rttf2pt1")

This requires Rtools to be installed on your system.

With kind regards,
Peter.

@gbonomib Hopefully I'll have Rttf2pt1 updated for R 3.5.0 within the next week.

Hi @lemna, thank you for your workaround. Hope the CRAN version will be fixed as well.

Thank you @lemna , you made my day! Also, I point out that Rttf2pt1 is not compatible with R3.5.0, yet, apparently.

Hi @wch .
I seem to have the same problem on Win10 64 bit with RTools latest version and R 3.6.0 installed.
I followed @lemna's advice but installation from github returns an "installation of package ‘[....]Rttf2pt1_1.3.6.9000.tar.gz’ had non-zero exit status".
I found a 1.3.7 version of Rttf2pt1 on CRAN, but I still get the same error.
Could you please guide me through the resolution of the issue? Does it have to do with Rttf2pt1 not being compatible with newest versions of R yet?
Many thanks
