R help - Sep 2011 - Possible or not possible: serif axis labels with plotmath [but everything else sans serif]?

Dear expeRts,

I it possible to have serif labels in the following plot?

x <- 1:10
y <- x
plot(x, y, type="b", xlab=expression(x[1]), ylab=expression(x[2]))

I know that one can use pdf(, family="serif"), but then also the axis
tick marks
are printed in serif font. Apart from the fact that it may not look nice,
I'm
just interested if one can have serif axis labels but everything else in sans
serif
(default).

Cheers,

Marius

Hi Jan Marius,
using the tikzDevice-package, nearly everything is possible (at least,
all what can be done in LaTeX).

cheers
