unhcrthemes 0.7.1.9000

unhcrthemes 0.7.1 (2025-09-04)

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.
