I have a problem whenever I have a .rmd file with Cyrillic characters in it and I try to knit it to a pdf, e.g.:
---
title: "test"
output:
pdf_document:
latex_engine: xelatex
html_document: default
---
Това е тест
When I press 'knit' I get the output file report.pdf, but the Cyrillic characters are not in there, instead there are several question-mark-looking characters in an all-white font:
If I copy paste the white characters they look like this:
���� � ����
Now this seem to be some issue with missing fonts maybe, but I don't know how and what to install with tinytex. Any help is greatly appreciated!
