R help - Nov 2007 - Save as postScrips latest R version

Hi,

I was using the 2.4.1 R version and I had no problem
saving my plots as postScript. Now that I have
installed the latest version 2.6.0 I can not save any
plot as postScript. When I try the following message
appears:

Erro: Invalid font type
Al?m disso: Warning messages:
1: font family not found in PostScript font database 
2: font family not found in PostScript font database 

What should I do?

Thank you in advance,

Camila

It seems people are unaware of the daily announcements of R changes.  If 
a change is significant enough to warrant mention in the NEWS file, it 
will be announced on one of the lists described here:

http://developer.r-project.org/RSSfeeds.html

These are available as RSS feeds, as the URL suggests.

For changes to R that would show up in R-patched, you would look at one 
of the R-2-6-branch listings.

For example, the bug report below is about a bug that was fixed around 
October 5, as could be seen here:

http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-2-6-branch/2007/10/05

Once a fix is announced on that page, it should be available in 
R-patched, which can be downloaded from CRAN.  In this case it's a 
Windows bug, so you would get R-patched from

cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rpatched.html

(There may be occasional delays in availability, but usually if the 
announcements are working, the nightly builds are working.)

Read the posting guide and follow it, i.e.

a) do not cross-post.
b) read the mailing list archives and find that this has been resolved 
in R-patched
