"Could not fetch https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Gelasio"

[lucas-peralta]

Hello, i am having a problem when i try to knit a pagedreport rmd (the basic template without any change) it says :

Could not fetch https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Gelasio
HttpExceptionRequest Request {
host = "fonts.googleapis.com"
port = 443
secure = True
requestHeaders = []
path = "/css"
queryString = "?family=Gelasio"
method = "GET"
proxy = Nothing
rawBody = False
redirectCount = 10
responseTimeout = ResponseTimeoutDefault
requestVersion = HTTP/1.1
proxySecureMode = ProxySecureWithConnect
}
ConnectionTimeout
Error: pandoc document conversion failed with error 61

I have updated the pandoc version following this

rmarkdown::pandoc_version()
[1] ‘2.13’

Any ideas of what can be happening? I have made a previous report using the package and sometimes i was having this problem but after some tries it worked, but since yesterday i am stucked with this error and doesn't work anymore.

ps: thanks for this great package!

This could happen when you have some Internet issues.

In fact, pagedreport calls Google Font to get the fonts. So if your Internet (or Google Fonts) have trouble, this problem appears.

You could use local fonts if needed (see https://pagedreport.rfortherestofus.com/articles/reports.html)

It's a problem i have in the two computers with Ubuntu, i tried in one with Windows and it worked. You are right, i should use google-font: FALSE in the YAML. I didn't realize that so i made a twisted solution changing the paths in the .css files to a local .txt instead the web page of the google font API.
Thanks for your help!

I have no hint on why it doesn't work on Ubuntu. My computer is on Ubuntu and this works perfectly (yes this isn't an answer, I know).

Same issue here on a Windows PC. I set google-font: FALSE in the YAML but it still fails.

Thanks for letting us know @sheikhbarabas! Just FYI, Thomas (who does most of the development work on the package) is on paternity leave so he may be a bit slow getting back to you.

Thanks @dgkeyes

One solution could be to update Pandoc - see mkearney/mizzourahmd#1
