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?

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).

Hi, I am having a problem where sometimes fonts for text in plots don't get rendered-the text just shows up as boxes. If I call R from a certain directory the problem goes away, otherwise the fonts don't render (but plots get made). In both cases, my PANGO_RC and FONTCONFIG_FILE do not change? Thank you, -George
