I have pie chart below in R.
I wan to : 1- change the font family to let s say Arial Narrow. 2- move the inner chart percentage labels farther from the center. How can I do this?

ALSO, if possible I would love to know what s the logic behind the order R opts for legend? why not from the largest proportion to the smallest?

mydf <- data.frame(
causes=c("a", "b", "c", "d", "other"),
freq=c(100, 80, 78, 75, 120),#
share= 100*c(100/sum(freq), 80/sum(freq), 78/sum(freq), 75/sum(freq), 120/sum(freq))
 )
sum(freq)
ggplot(mydf, aes("", share, fill = causes))  



geom_bar(width = 1, size = 1, color = "white", stat = "identity")  
  coord_polar("y")  
  geom_text(aes(label = paste0(round(share), "%")), 
            position = position_stack(vjust = 0.5), size=5, col="white")  
  labs(x = NULL, y = NULL, fill = NULL, 
       title = "leading causes of death in US")  
  guides(fill = guide_legend(reverse = TRUE))  
  scale_fill_manual(values = c("#003B6D", "#6699CC", "#BDBDBD", "#676767", "#EBEDF3"))  
  theme_classic()  
  theme(axis.line = element_blank(),
    axis.text = element_blank(),
    axis.ticks = element_blank(),
    plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5, color = "#666666"))

Try this way

mydf$Label  <- round(((mydf$freq/sum(mydf$freq))*100),2)
mydf <- mydf %>%
  mutate(end = 2 * pi * cumsum(Label)/sum(Label),
         start = lag(end, default = 0),
         middle = 0.5 * (start   end),
         hjust = ifelse(middle > pi, 1, 0),
         vjust = ifelse(middle < pi/2 | middle > 3 * pi/2, 0, 1))


ggplot(mydf)   
  ggforce::geom_arc_bar(aes(x0 = 0, y0 = 0, r0 = 0, r = 1,
                   start = start, end = end, fill = causes))  
  geom_text(aes(x = 1.05 * sin(middle), y = 1.05 * cos(middle), label = Label,
                hjust = hjust, vjust = vjust))  
  coord_fixed()  
  labs(x = NULL, y = NULL, fill = NULL, 
       title = "leading causes of death in US")  
  guides(fill = guide_legend(reverse = TRUE))  
  scale_fill_manual(values = c("#003B6D", "#6699CC", "#BDBDBD", "#676767", "#EBEDF3"))  
  theme_classic()  
  theme(axis.line = element_blank(),
        axis.text = element_blank(),
        axis.ticks = element_blank(),
        plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5, color = "#666666"))

Inside

mydf <- mydf %>%

         start = lag(end, default = 0),
         middle = 0.5 * (start   end),
         hjust = ifelse(middle > pi, 0, 1),
         vjust = ifelse(middle < pi/2 | middle > 3 * pi/2, 1, 0))


ggplot(mydf)   
  ggforce::geom_arc_bar(aes(x0 = 0, y0 = 0, r0 = 0, r = 1,
                            start = start, end = end, fill = causes))  
  geom_text(aes(x = 0.95 * sin(middle), y = 0.95 * cos(middle), label = Label,
                hjust = hjust, vjust = vjust))  
  coord_fixed()  
  labs(x = NULL, y = NULL, fill = NULL, 
       title = "leading causes of death in US")  
  guides(fill = guide_legend(reverse = TRUE))

  theme(axis.line = element_blank(),
        axis.text = element_blank(),
        axis.ticks = element_blank(),
        plot.title = element_text(hjust = 0.5, color = "#666666"))
