Well, no, it doesn't (it plots on the screen device). So exactly how
are you producing the plot?
Almost certainly this needs to be moved to R-sig-mac since you
are/should be using Mac-specific graphics devices and fonts.
Note too that we really do need the 'at a minimum' information we
asked for in the posting guide, including your locale.
