Hi, Am using R 2.13.1 on Linux (Fedora). Is anybody else having problems with dev.copy2pdf xyplot output with the pch=1 (open circle) symbol? The symbols come out as "q" in the PDF. dev.copy2eps produces the correct results as does cairo_pdf. Other symbols produced with dev.copy2pdf seem ok. Thanks, Selwyn

I'm running R version 2.13.1 Patched (2011-07-17 r56404) currently. cheers, Rolf Turner

How did you determine that the circles came out as q? Duncan Murdoch
This is all in the help page for pdf ... including a request not to falsely blame R and two workarounds for the broken viewers.
