similar to: Arial for pdf() on a Mac

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",

To whom it may concern, I am e-mailing you concerning the use of Arial Font in the program R and I am using a mac. I am trying to create graphs in R and the publisher I wish to publish an article 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

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:

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

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04.

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",

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 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",

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 <-

I am stumbling into external font issues here and there. I presume using external lucida fonts is fairly rare, so I am more likely to stumble onto issues here. (of course, I often think I have stumbled onto bugs/features that are not.) So, I hope I am not imposing by reporting the following. [1] can R please not include fonts that it is not using? luafmfiles <-

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 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.

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 the font "Frutiger" in my pdf files generated by R. but I only manage this if I create a postscript file with postscript() and the option family = c( "LT_14361.afm", "LT_14363.afm", "LT_14373.afm", "LT_14375.afm" ) and convert this postscript file to pdf. If I specify the option 'family' like above ( =

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');

Greetings All. According to the PLoS (Public Library of Science) Guidelines for Figure preparation, if a figure is submitted as EPS rather than TIFF then "Figure text must be in Arial font" -- see: [1] http://www.plosntds.org/static/figureGuidelines.action#text and also other sections in that web-page [2] http://www.plosntds.org/static/figureGuidelines.action Now, Arial font is not

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))

Hello, I can generate PDF documents and they look good on acrobat reader. However, when I import the PDFs in Pagemaker 7.0 (on windows2K), I get an error message saying it does not recognize the Helvetica font. I got this from ?pdf: family the font family to be used, one of "AvantGarde", "Bookman", "Courier", "Helvetica", "Helvetica-Narrow",
