Hello, For a long time, I have been creating eps files from R using the following command: dev.copy2eps(file="my.eps") This has worked very well. But recently, the compositor of a journal is complaining that "The eps files would be useable except that they have not converted the type to outlines" Sorry for being vague, but I have no idea what this compositor is talking about. Do people have similar experience? And is there an option in the dev.copy2eps() that I could use to fix this problem? Many thanks for any suggestion.

See the article in R-News about doing that: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2006-2.pdf -- Brian D.
