Hello R helpers, I am quite new as a R user, and even more on a Mac Os. I am running R under Emacs 21.3.30.5 through ESS. I have some problems with the pdf() device : when sent to it, plots don't come out with any labels, titles or whatever written. I don't have that problem when plots are sent to X11 or postscript devices. As pdf is the native format on Mac Os X, i find it sad to have to go through .ps then .pdf using ps2pdf... Here's my R version platform powerpc-apple-darwin6.8 arch powerpc os darwin6.8 system powerpc, darwin6.8 status major 2 minor 0.1 year 2004 month 11 day 15 language R > ______________________________ Guillaume Allain Carte Blanche Conseil 47 rue de Lancry 75010
There is an R-sig-mac list for MacOS-specific questions. Do check that it is the pdf file and not your viewer that is giving the problem. Many similar reports have been traced to faulty PDF viewers.

I had this problem last fall. It went away after a while, and I believe the "fix" was an OS version upgrade. Later, I was sending PDF files created with R to a colleague. When I viewed them, the labels were there. When he viewed them on his computer, they were not displayed. He upgraded his OS, after which they were displayed. Here is my version information, and note that I have a later version of the OS (10.3.8).> version_ platform powerpc-apple-darwin6.8.5 arch powerpc os darwin6.8.5 system powerpc, darwin6.8.5 status major 2 minor 0.1 year 2004 month 11 day 15 language R -Don At 9:43 AM +0100 3/24/05, guillaume allain wrote:>Hello R helpers, > >I am quite new as a R user, and even more on a Mac Os.
