Paul, You solution worked out really well when I ran my code in R. However, when I try to turn the plot into a pdf, the unicode string no longer seems to function and instead of the sigma symbol there are just two periods (See example code below). The following is the code working in the R environment just like I want it to look: set.seed(1) Data=rnorm(100,sd=10000) plot(density(Data))

Hi, I am trying to create a graph using Arial font (as required by PLoS One). I have read probably all posts in R-help on this topic, as wells as R-news 2006. The code I have been trying is following: Arial <- Type1Font(family="Arial", metrics=c("ArialMT.afm", "arial-BoldMT.afm", "Arial-ItalicMT.afm",

Hi! On Linux I try to produce pdf graphs with computer modern fonts so that they look nice in LaTeX documents. I run for example: ------ CM <- Type1Font( "CM", c("/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/afm/public/cm-lgc/fcmr8a.afm", "/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/afm/public/cm-lgc/fcmb8a.afm", "/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/afm/public/cm-lgc/fcmri8a.afm",

Hello all, I am trying to use computer modern fonts in my r grahics. I tried to do, as described here: http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~paul/R/CM/CMR.html but unfortunately, it does not work. First of all I downloaded the cm-lgc package and the AFM and PFB-files from the page and put them in my R working directory, so far, so good. Then I tried to run the following code: > sn <-

Hello R users, Using R, Sweave and the cmsyase.afm font it is possible to write LaTeX documents including R figures with text in the Computer Modern Fonts: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{Sweave} \begin{document} <<echo = false, results = hide>>= CM <- Type1Font("CM", c(file.path("C:/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/fonts/afm/public/cm-lgc",

Hello, R users. I am trying to embed Computer modern fonts to an R plot and I get the following error. CM <- Type1Font("CM", + c(paste("cm-lgc/fonts/afm/public/cm-lgc/", + c("fcmr8a.afm", "fcmb8a.afm", "fcmri8a.afm", "fcmbi8a.afm"), sep=""), + "./cmsyase.afm")) > pdf("cm.pdf",

Dear List, I am writing a paper in Hungarian, that I Sweave and than pdfLaTeX. Everything is fine, except for two accented letters in the graphs that behave strange, though on the screen and in eps exports they look perfect. The problem is that I need pdf graphs, since I would like to have a PDF after LaTeX-ing. For the example below I downloaded the following two font sets: 1. Latin Modern

Hello, I came across this by using R cmd check - otherwise I would probably not have noticed. One of my functions does something like this: # postscript() # plot(1, xlim = c(0, 10), ylim = c(0, 4), type = "n", ann = FALSE, axes = FALSE) # text(1:10, 2, c("a","b"), cex = seqcex, family="mono",font=2) Which results in the error: Error in text.default(1:10, 2,

Hi, I try to use the sfrm1000.pfb Type-1 font with my postscript plots. When I add family=CM to the postscript() command the output is empty. What am I doing wrong? # define font CM <- Type1Font('ComputerModern', # font ID c(file.path(getwd(), c('sfrm1000.afm', '', '', ''))), # font metrics encoding='AdobeStd');

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",

Hi, I'd like to use Arial for the font in the PDF's and TIFF's I produce in R on my Mac (running 10.5.5). I've found the following archived help file on how to do it in Linux (http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/help/08/08/19847.html ) but don't understand how to do this on my system. Are *.afm files freely available and do they come with the *.enc file that

Dear R wizards: [a] I believe that the pdf device does not yet fully support TeXencoding. (under R-2.2.0, the pdf file created with Textext as font encoding still dies when post-processed by ghostscript.) are there any workarounds, or are there utilities that would allow a TeXencoded font to be re-encoded/converted into ISOLatin, perhaps, which R could then handle beautifully? [b] is there a

There have been spasmodic reports of symbols such as pi and infinity in plotmath being reproduced incorrectly on the X11 device on some Linux systems (at least Ubuntu 10 and Fedora 12/13), and we've managed to track down one cause whilst investigating PR#14355. Some systems have Wine and hence the Wine symbol font installed. 'fontconfig', which is used by cairographics in

Colin, good day! Spotted two patches for x11-servers/xorg-server port: see entries for x11r6.9.0-dbe-render.diff and x11r6.9.0-cidfonts.diff at http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/X11R6.9.0/patches/index.html Seems like they are not applied to the xorg-server-6.9.0_5. May be it should be added to the VuXML document? There is a ports/107733 issue that incorporates these patches. May be you

Dear All, I would like to export, as a pdf file, a plot with the LaTeX font lmodern as the font of my graph. Could somebody please help me? Thanks in advance, Paul

Hello to the list, I noticed something that it seems weird to me with postscript device in dev.print function. Suppose this little code: x<-1:10 par(family="sans") plot(x, main="main") Using dev.print with pdf device brings no problem dev.print(device=pdf, file="test.pdf") But using postscript device dev.print(device=postscript, file="test.ps") I get

Hi there, With the helps from this list, I can set specific CJK fonts for character string using text() function. for example: song <- CIDFont("SimSun", "GBK-EUC-H", "GBK", "") postscriptFonts(song = song) postscript("test.ps", height = 7, width =7, family = "Times", fonts = c("song"), horizontal = FALSE, onefile =

A very similar code works fine. <CODE> postscript()

When I use the postscript with the ComputerModernItalic family, minus signs are not properly displayed, but are changed into capital gammas. The attached test-postscript.pdf file illustrates the problem, which I created starting with the following R code: > postscript("test-postscript.eps", family = "ComputerModernItalic") > plot(seq(-5,5,1),seq(-5,5,1)) > dev.off()

I had been looking for information about including OSX fonts in R plots for a long time and never quite found the answer. I spent an hour or so gathering together the following solution which, as far as I have tested, works. I'm posting this for feedback and and archiving. I'd be interested in any caveats about the brittleness of the technique. Thanks. F ----- 1. Find font system
