Hi, I am trying to create a graph using Arial font (as required by PLoS One). I have read probably all posts in R-help on this topic, as wells as R-news 2006. The code I have been trying is following: Arial <- Type1Font(family="Arial", metrics=c("ArialMT.afm", "arial-BoldMT.afm", "Arial-ItalicMT.afm", "Arial-BoldItalicMT.afm")) postscriptFonts(Arial=Arial) postscript("testArial.eps", horizontal=F, onefile=F, width=4, height=4) par(family="Arial") plot(1:10, 1:10) dev.off() but getting the foll...

Hi, I need to generate some figure using the Arial font as a requirement for PLoS. Following their guidelines, I have converted the windows font files arial.tff files to .afm using tff2afm (exec file from MikTeX), but when I try to generate a postcript file, the postcript device does not recognize the .afm files. The code I use to test the new font is the following:

...created afm files with a text editor (ex Notepad++) and correct the following things: ? Remove the copyright line (or make it start zith comment and get rid of the (c) copyright symbol ) ? At the beginning of 4 of the first lines, the variable name is missing, so add it. Eg in arial.afm: o FontName ArialMT o FullName Arial o FamilyName Arial o Weight Normal Now you can use these fonts with the postscript function in R with the following line: postscript(file="try.ps", horizontal=F, onefile=F, width=4, height=4, pointsize=12, family=c ( ?C:/ttf2afm/arial.afm", ?C:/ttf2afm/arial-Bold....
