Hi all, I'm currently preparing some figures that will be submitted to PloS One. In their guidelines they state that they will only accept figures in tiff or eps format, with the warning that eps figures will be converted to tiff format ( see http://www.plosone.org/static/figureGuidelines.action ). Because of this conversion, I figured I'd generate tiff-format figures from the beginning.

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, 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, 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

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

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",

Benjamin I've been trying for some time to install my copy of Word97 (which I own, having purchased it directly from Microsoft with my own license number). I have tried the latest Wine 0.9.14. To do

I would like to ensure that all the text in my plot is in the arial font, like in excel and word. I have been saving my graphics to a file using the png() function, and have tried the postscript() function. In the documentation I have not been able to find a way of changing the family argument to an arial font. Does it exist? How would I go about creating a png or ps graphic using Arial?

I was re-running some code that I hadn't run in a couple of months to make barplots in R. I didn't change a single thing in the script, but the plots wouldn't work this time around. The plot itself (the bars and axes) will graph in the window, but no text appears. In the console it says I have a number of errors, all of which say "no font could be found for family

Hi All, Just thought you might be interested in a recently released R package, spm: Spatial Predictive Modelling. It aims to introduce some novel, accurate, hybrid geostatistical and machine learning methods for spatial predictive modelling. Of 22 functions available in spm, two functions are for accuracy assessment. Perhaps they are not only useful tools for spatial predictive modelling

First off, for those who have done some R&D on this with LiveZilla v3 series, kudos indeed. I noticed LiveZilla is at v4.0.1.2 now. I have not dived into trying the installation process under Ubuntu 10.04 (32-bit and 64-bit desktop systems here) just yet, but wanted to reach out and see if anyone has tried such? Potential issues that may be encountered (with or without solutions; with

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.

Dear all, In grDevices R functions cairo_pdf and cairo_ps it is mentioned that when transparency (alpha channels) are used in vector output, it will rasterize the PDF or postscript exported graph at a resolution of 72 dpi : https://stat.ethz.ch/R-manual/R-devel/library/grDevices/html/cairo.html You can see the problem if you try library(ggplot2) cairo_ps(file = "test.eps",onefile =

I'm using wine 0.9.7 from the extras repository on Fedora Core 4. I've installed a windows program using wine. The program works very well; however, the fonts it uses are ugly and difficult to read. The rest of my system (KDE) uses smooth, beautiful, anti-aliased fonts, and this windows program is the only exception. I read the FAQ on the wine homepage, and it says to copy the

Hi all, I have just uploaded the hbim package. This package does calculations related to the Hill/Bliss independence model as applied to mulitcomponent vaccines. Specifically, the package caculates expected relative risk and proportion protected assuming normally distributed log10 transformed antibody dose for a several component vaccine. It uses Hill models for each component which are combined
