R help - Oct 2007 - R2.6 + Error saving plots as PDF

Dear R users;

After installing R 2.6.0 I got the following error when I try to save
a plot as PDF or PS from the windows plot:
Error: Invalid font type
In addition: Warning messages:
1: font family not found in PostScript font database
2: font family not found in PostScript font database
However in R 2.5.0 works just fine
Any ideas how to make it work again (without having to install the
previous version)?

I'm running R under WinXP pro

It works if postscript() or pdf() has been used in the session, and also 
if initPSandPDFfonts() is called (so put that in your .Rprofile).

We'll arrange to do this automatically in R-patched.
