Hi Ilia, I'm running Arch Linux, R 3.4.0. Here's my test.pdf from your minimal example: https://ptpb.pw/HxsA.pdf It doesn't look pixelated to me... Here's a post that I wrote when I solved my last font problem in R, almost 2 years ago: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40940331/5087283 I had to install some Microsoft font packages, which is sad, because there are some perfectly

Maybe the Cairo device should be giving better warning messages. Anyway it sounds like you are describing a regression so maybe someone can track down the commit that created this problem.

Hi all, I have the following problem: Since R 3.4.0, italic fonts rendered on Cairo devices appear pixelated. Here's a minimal example: cairo_pdf('test.pdf') plot(1:10, ylab=expression(italic(test))) dev.off() The same problem occurs with bolditalic, but not bold. I am using Debian Stretch. Several friends tried the same on their machines, another Debian machine has the same
