Skimr - cant seem to produce the histograms

Question

came across this seemingly new package - skimr, which looks pretty nifty, and was trying it out and looks like I\'m missing some package installation. Skim works fine except

Answer 1

A solution that can be used to workaround the above problem is to set the locale of the R system to Chinese and to set the font of the R console to NSimSun.

temp <- tempfile()
cat("font = NSimSun\n", file = temp, append = TRUE)
loadRconsole(file = temp)
Sys.setlocale( locale='Chinese' )

library(skimr)
(a <- skim(mtcars))

View(a)

In RStudio this solution works only partially. Histograms generated by skim can be visualized only using View after setting the locale of R to Chinese

Sys.setlocale( locale='Chinese' )
library(skimr)
a <- skim(mtcars)
View(a)

Hope this can help you.
