R help - Jun 2010 - ps-output and LaTeX/DVIPS/PS2PDF - Greek letters disappear

Hello!

My graphs are produced using the "postscript"-option in R (R version 
2.10.1 (2009-12-14)). When Greek letters are used on the axis, 
everything looks fine in the *.ps-file. If included in a LaTeX-file and 
(on Ubuntu 10.04, fresh install), the Greek letters appear in the DVI- 
and PS-output, however, if converted with ps2pdf they suddenly 
disappear. Could anyone suggest a solution?

Best regards,
/steffen

That's a problem of LateX and Ubuntu, not R :

You'll have more luck on an Ubuntu list or forum.

Cheers
