R help - Mar 2013 - Change the Chinese/English fonts in the Lattice graphic package

Hi,

   I am graphing with the following command in the Lattice and LatticeExtra
package

xyplot(xts,lty=c(1,2),col=c("blue","red"),type=c("l","g"),par.settings
list(layout.heights = list(panel = c(2, 2))),
aspect="xy",xlab="",ylab="%",
key=key1,screen=list(a,a,b,b,c,c,d,d), layout=c(2,2),
scales=list(x="same",y="same"))

   where a, b, c, d contains English and Chinese characters

   How can I modify the preceding line to change the fonts?

   (1) I find from the manual that font=2 represents boldface, while 3
represents italics. Where should I add it?

   (2) The default Chinese character seems to be ²Ó©úÅé (Shi Ming Tee). How
can I change it to Kai -Shu (·¢®Ñ)?

   Thanks,

Miao

This is little to do with lattice (and 'font=2' is for base graphics: 
lattice is based on grid).  You may well not have bold or italic Chinese 
fonts.

Font families are set for the device.  You have not followed the posting 
guide: it asked for 'at a minimum' information about your setup.  So we 
cannot even guess what graphics device you used.
