Arial is used instead of arial narrow on linux?

[haozhu233]

This is more like an "am I the only one?" question. :)

I just deployed a shiny app to a rstudio connect server on a linux machine and I noticed that the font on the web app is a lot larger on the web app than it appears on my local machine. It seems like it's using arial instead of arial narrow, maybe?

Then, I installed Arial Narrow to that linux box manually and I also tried out to use the extrafont package but I haven't fixed the problem. Do you have any idea what I should do? Even though arial doesn't look horrible, I do very much like the "narrowed" version.

web app..........local app under the same zooming rate, using the same code
