Dear R wizards: Has anyone gotten the TeXtext font encoding to work? If I execute: if (is.null(postscriptFonts()$lucida)) { luafmfiles <- c("/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/yandy/lubright/lbr.afm", "/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/yandy/lubright/lbd.afm", "/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/yandy/lubright/lbi.afm", "/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/yandy/lubright/lbdi.afm", "/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/yandy/lumath/lbms.afm") postscriptFonts(lucida=postscriptFont("Lucida", metrics=luafmfiles, encoding="TeXtext")) } pdf(file = "test.pdf", fonts="lucida"); par(family="lucida"); plot( 40:50, 40:50, pch=40:50 ); dev.off(); the R code runs fine under 2.1.1, but the resulting .pdf file has an error: $ pdffonts test.pdf name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ------------ --- --- --- --------- Error: Wrong type in font encoding resource differences (array) Error: Wrong type in font encoding resource differences (array) Error: Wrong type in font encoding resource differences (array) Error: Wrong type in font encoding resource differences (array) ZapfDingbats Type 1 no no no 5 0 Helvetica Type 1 no no no 11 0 Helvetica-Bold Type 1 no no no 12 0 Helvetica-Oblique Type 1 no no no 13 0 Helvetica-BoldOblique Type 1 no no no 14 0 Symbol Type 1 no no no 15 0 LucidaBright Type 1 no no no 16 0 LucidaBright-Demi Type 1 no no no 17 0 LucidaBright-Italic Type 1 no no no 18 0 LucidaBright-DemiItalic Type 1 no no no 19 0 LucidaNewMath-Symbol Type 1 no no no 20 0 ghostscript 7.07 dies when I try to do the next processing step of embedding the fonts with ps2pdf13 . These errors do not occur when I do not specify a font encoding. (I believe I need this encoding for the math symbols, like '=', to appear in the right places.) is this an R (enc file) bug or another mistake of mine? as always, help would be highly appreciated. sincerely, /iaw --- ivo welch
