Dear all, I am using Cairo version 1.4-5 for plotting R graphs on a Gentoo system that does not have X11 installed. I have full control on the fonts when running R in interactive mode. But when running R in batch mode I cannot change e.g. font size. Letters (including symbols) are, however, drawn. I am exporting the following environemntal variables when running R in batch mode to point to pkgconfig, which is used by Cairographics, and which I installed in a non-standard local. export PATH="$HOME/software/bin:$PATH" PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/software/lib/pkgconfig LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/software/lib export PKG_CONFIG_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH Any help would be highly appreciated, Christian -- ----------------------------------------------- Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research, Institute of Geography& Institute of Plant Sciences University of Bern http://www.stomatocysts.unibe.ch/kamenik mailto:christian.kamenik at giub.unibe.ch Postal address: Dr. Christian Kamenik Institute of Geography Erlachstrasse 9a, Trakt 3 3012 Bern, Switzerland Tel. +41 (0)31 631 5091 Fax +41 (0)31 631 43 38
