I have problem to have fonts in graphics using GDD.
R version: R 2.2.1 (2005-12-20).
GDD version: GDD_0.1-8.tar.gz
Platform: Linux 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 #2 SMP Sat Nov 4 21:16:47 EST 2006 i686
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
I have configured the basefont.mapping file accordingly to the path of the
font on my computer:
base.norm:/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/arial.ttf
base.ital:/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/ariali.ttf
base.bold:/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/arialbd.ttf
base.bita:/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/arialbi.ttf
Those files exists and are present at the right place:
ls /usr/share/fonts/corefonts/arial*.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/arial.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/arialbi.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/arialbd.ttf
/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/ariali.ttf
In R, when I import the GDD library and look at the font path, they are
correct:> library('GDD')
> .Call("gdd_look_up_font", NULL)
[1] "/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/arial.ttf"
[2] "/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/arialbd.ttf"
[3] "/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/ariali.ttf"
[4] "/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/arialbi.ttf"
[5] NA
When I create a graphic, there is no font:> library(GDD)
> GDD()
> plot(rnorm)
> dev.off()
I have went through the following threads and it did'nt help:

The ouptut of my GDD installation is:
