Martin,
Thanks for taking a quick look. Yes it looks like it must be something
local.
I've done the following to make sure I have a clean box:
reboot
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Rerun the "svn up" command and do a
make distclean
svn up
tools/rsync-recommended
./configure
make
The problem persists in 2017-09-01 r73179
I pulled the source code for 3.4-1 and compiled it, the problem persists.
I then did sudo apt-get install R, which installs version 3.2.3 on the machine.
The plots
work as expected there.
The new plots are the same size, same layout and margins, but the text and lines
are
definitely thinner. According to the package manager I have the latest version
of
texlive-fonts-extra.
I don't see how to get it to pull a newer compiled version than 3.2.
Anything else that would help?
Terry T.
