R help - Apr 2013 - problems with text in plots when using illustrator

Hi folks,

I have some problems with plots (any) saved from R (saved from the menu). It
seems that text (either plot titles or axes) is sometimes not
"concatenated"
in a full "vector" (Illustrator-speaking). I mean, sometimes, a given
title
is broken in several different chunks even though in R, it's in one
"block".
Moreover, axis values (especially those < 10) are most of the times
"pasted"
in a single Illustrator vector whereas a given axis values should be a
single vector in Illustrator. This cause problem when trying to edit the
plots within Illustrator. All plots are saved in *.eps. I'm using
Illustrator CS5. 
Many thanks!
Yan

I sorry. I find this basically incoherent.

Are you expecting us to have a copy of Illustrator and are willing to  
describe how you create a pdf or ps file? If so you should post a  
dataset (in R code using dput) and code. Many of us do not have such a  
resource but I cannot imagine understanding your complaint unless you  
do post further detail.
