hello all, when trying to produce a plot with the following code postscript("g6-5000-0705-b.ps") par(mfrow=c(4,1)) for (i in 1:4) { somc<-cumsum(betaC[,i])/c(1:N) plot(somc,ylim=c(min(somc),max(somc))); } dev.off() I get a postscript file g6-5000-0705-b.ps, but if I try to open it with ghostscript, or to convert it to pdf, I get the following error : Error: /invalidfont in findfont Operand stack: Helvetica Font Helvetica 236270 Helvetica --nostringval-- Courier NimbusMonL-Regu Execution stack: %interp_exit .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 1 3 %oparray_pop .runexec2 --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 2 %stopped_push --nostringval-- 1 3 %oparray_pop 2 3 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- --nAladdin Ghostscript 6.0: Unrecoverable error, exit code 1 ostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- false 1 %stopped_push 5 4 %oparray_pop --nostringval-- --nostringval-- --nostringval-- 1 -1 1 --nostringval-- %for_neg_int_continue --nostringval-- --nostringval-- Dictionary stack: --dict:946/983(ro)(G)-- --dict:0/20(G)-- --dict:90/200(L)-- --dict:16/24(G)-- --dict:946/983(ro)(G)-- Current allocation mode is local Last OS error: 2 Current file position is 1105 Error: PostScript interpreter failed in main window.

Just one idea: gs 6.0 was one of the least reliable recent versions. Try upgrading to at least 6.01. -- Brian D.

I've had a similar problem when the gs_lib environment variable hasn't been set up to point to the correct font libraries. Check the man page for gs and gv.
