Colleagues, Using R 2.10.1 in OS X (Snow Leopard), I created JPEG documents that were intended to include italicized text. In the JPEG versions, the italics appear in bold-face. The identical code (except for the call to the device) yields italics in PDF. A minimal example is: PDF version:> pdf("plot.pdf") > plot(1,1) > mtext(bquote(italic(P) < .(0.005))) > dev.off()JPEG version:> jpeg(file="plot.jpeg", pointsize=12, bg="white", res=150, quality=100) > plot(1,1) > mtext(bquote(italic(P) < .(0.005))) > dev.off()I can't find any info in the help pages for either jpeg or bquote that explain this. Any ideas? Dennis Dennis Fisher MD P < (The "P Less Than" Company) Phone: 1-866-PLessThan (1-866-753-7784) Fax: 1-866-PLessThan (1-866-753-7784) www.PLessThan.com

You might report this as a bug, but a quick workaround would be to try CairoJPEG instead.
