R help - Dec 2000 - Sans Serif Fonts?

Hi All, 

I am preparing a few plots for publication.  Unfortunately the journal
requires figures to have all text in a sans serif fonts.

I realise that there is support for the use of Hershey vector fonts in the
function TEXT, 
but how do I get the text on axes to be sans serif?
For example, the labels and axis values produced from this line of code:

plot(SolPC, SorbPC, ylab="Sorbed P
(mg/kg)",cex.lab=1.3,xlab="Solution P
(mg/L)", tcl=0.3,mgp=c(2,1,0),axes=FALSE, xlim=c(0,35), ylim=c(0,100))

Is the only way to tackle the problem to leave the plot bare of numbers and
labels, then put them in with manual text commands?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Windows, right? (On Unix/Linux, Helvetica is used which *is* sans
serif).

Two solutions:

(a) use the postscript driver, print using Ghostscript.

(b) edit the file etc\Rdevga making the first four entries

TT Arial : plain
TT Arial : bold
TT Arial : italic
TT Arial : bold&italic

(or wait for R v 1.2.0 next Friday which has this as the default...)
