In my report I am trying to change all labels or anything in my charts that has text to Montserrat font. I followed the instructions on this website for google fonts because I don't think Montserrat font is already in Rmarkdown. I could be wrong. Anyways I followed the instructions so that my text in my ggplot graph would be Montserrat. I downloaded the Montserrat text from google and placed it in Font Book on my Mac and here is the code that I used in Rmarkdown.
library(sysfonts)#for fonts
#Adding Font
font_add_google("Montserrat")
ggplot(chart2[-(nrow(chart2)),], aes(x = Garagen, y =Summe_Einnahmen_April))+
geom_bar(stat = "identity")+
labs(title = "Summe Einnahmen für Juli", xlab = "Garagen", y = "Summe Einnahmen")+
theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90))+
theme(legend.position = "none")+
theme(legend.position = "none", text = element_text(family = "Montserrat"))
When I run this code I get no complaints and no error message but when I try to then knit the report to a pdf I get this error message:
Error in grid.Call.graphics(C_text, as.graphicsAnnot(x$label), x$x, x$y, : invalid font type Calls: ... drawDetails -> drawDetails.text -> grid.Call.graphics In addition: There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the first 50) Execution halted
This error message is shown in the Rmarkdown tab so I go to the console and type warnings() and get nothing. If there is an easier way to get the Montserrat text to be the default text then I would definitely be interested or any other help is most welcome.
If it helps here is my YAML

title: "Template"
output:
pdf_document: default
html_document:
df_print: paged
header-includes:
- \usepackage{colortbl}
- \usepackage{titling}
- \pretitle{\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=2in,height=2in]{logo.jpg}\LARGE\\}
- \posttitle{\end{center}}

I also just realised that there is german letters that are in my text. I don't know if this is also important to know.
I researched online what latex package I needed for Montserrat. Just by simply adding the following package to my yaml section I was able to have all text in my Rmarkdown report as Montserrat.
- \usepackage[defaultfam,tabular,lining]{montserrat}

Note I also did not need the following code anymore
#Adding Font
font_add_google("Montserrat")
theme(legend.position = "none", text = element_text(family = "Montserrat"))
However Im not sure if it is still necessary to have cairo and Quartz installed as it says in the website that I have in the question section.
