I am doing a Rmarkdown website, but the folder site_libs keep tracking font types. Is this an expected behavior?
What is a RMarkdown website? Which tools/packages do you use besides RMarkdown?
I am using only Rmarkdown. I guess many people call this Rmarkdown websites. You need to create a _site.yml and an index.Rmd files, but also create a site_libs folder.

Two approaches:
- start with a minimal example and extend till you get problems
- make a copy of your site and simplify
No other advice. Apparently it is not a problem familiar to the forum participants.
Thank you very much. I agree with you, is not a common problem, there was a post with a similar problem in 2018.
Could you please expand on what you mean by "tracking font types"? The site_libs/ directory contains all the supporting website files (e.g. CSS, JS) that are used by the Rmd-generated HTML files.
That very frequently is it showing me untracked files like the picture attached. I am not changing anything related to fonts.
Thanks for the clarification. I'm not exactly sure why those particular files are showing up as new files. Did you recently upgrade the rmarkdown package? Every time you run render_site(), the site_libs/ directory is deleted and re-created. The reproducible example below shows that those font files are included by default, so I would have expected them to already be committed in your repository:
directory <- tempfile()
dir.create(directory)
yaml <- file.path(directory, "_site.yml")
writeLines("output_dir: \"docs\"", con = yaml)
index <- file.path(directory, "index.Rmd")
file.create(index)
#> [1] TRUE
rmarkdown::render_site(directory, quiet = TRUE)
list.files(file.path(directory, "docs", "site_libs", "bootstrap-3.3.5", "css", "fonts"))
#> [1] "Lato.ttf" "LatoBold.ttf"
#> [3] "LatoItalic.ttf" "NewsCycle.ttf"
#> [5] "NewsCycleBold.ttf" "OpenSans.ttf"
#> [7] "OpenSansBold.ttf" "OpenSansBoldItalic.ttf"
#> [9] "OpenSansItalic.ttf" "OpenSansLight.ttf"
#> [11] "OpenSansLightItalic.ttf" "Raleway.ttf"
#> [13] "RalewayBold.ttf" "Roboto.ttf"
#> [15] "RobotoBold.ttf" "RobotoLight.ttf"
#> [17] "RobotoMedium.ttf" "SourceSansPro.ttf"
#> [19] "SourceSansProBold.ttf" "SourceSansProItalic.ttf"
#> [21] "SourceSansProLight.ttf" "Ubuntu.ttf"

I always commit everything in site_libs/ in order to keep the website functioning. Thus I'd also recommend you commit everything in site_libs/, even if it seems unnecessary.
Thank you very much John.
