Hi, I need to generate some figure using the Arial font as a requirement for PLoS. Following their guidelines, I have converted the windows font files arial.tff files to .afm using tff2afm (exec file from MikTeX), but when I try to generate a postcript file, the postcript device does not recognize the .afm files. The code I use to test the new font is the following:

...cle with needs the font to be Arial. I have tried looking around to find out how to do this with no luck and must help on the topic is geared towards Linux users - the only help available is from the PLoS ONE site: Enable the use of Arial in R First, convert the Arial .ttf files to afm: ttf2afm /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/arial.ttf > ~/arial.afm ttf2afm /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/ariali.ttf > ~/ariali.afm ttf2afm /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/arialbd.ttf > ~/arialbd.afm ttf2afm /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/arialbi.ttf > ~/arialbi.afm and then do the foll...

Hi, Late last year there was a thread on r-help about installing Arial fonts on linux machines: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02/archive/8548.html I too would like to use Arial fonts in some R plots created on my redhat machine. I've installed the TrueType fonts from http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ -- there is now a directory /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/ and xlsfonts reports

Deal all, I want to know if truetype or opentype fonts are available in pdf device (i.e., pdf() or dev.copy2pdf()), and if so, how to do it? Now I can do as followings: 1. convert ttf to afm using ttf2afm, e.g.: $ ttf2afm Impact.ttf > Impact.afm 2. put the afm file in $R_HOME/library/grDevices/afm 3. register a new type1 font: pdfFonts(Impact=Type1Font("Impact", rep("Impact.afm", 4), encoding = "TeXtext.enc")) 4. specify the fontfamily in gpar: grid.text('hello g...

...="Arial") plot(1:10, 1:10) dev.off() which resulted in: Error in postscript("testArial.eps", horizontal = F, onefile = F, width = 4, : Failed to initialise default PostScript font The *.afm files were downloaded from http://www.koders.com/, since I wasn't able to run ttf2afm or ttf2pt1 on my computer. The files are saved under ../R/library/grDevices/afm. I have also tried saving the files with LF line endings (instead of CRLF) as indicated in README under /grDevices/afm, and zipping them. That didn't make a difference. I am currently running R-2.14.1 on Windows7....

Hi, I have been asked by a publisher to change the font style of a lattice plot in my manuscript. I have consulted documentation on trellis graphics and the excellent book "R graphics", but am still not sure how I could create plots with Arial as the font style for text in the plot. I am running R (Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01)) under debian Linux. I have msttcorefonts installed.

Message-ID: <1291980023177-3081774.post at n4.nabble.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi Agnes, I converted the Arial font files from ttf to afm using ttf2afm from MikTex complete installation. When used in R with the line recommended by Plos, they seem to give correct Arial font graphics: I checked by opening the ps file with a viewer (gsview), a text editor (notepad++) and Adobe illustrator. However I did not try (but hopefully will do soon) the ultim...
