Hello , could anyone answer for the following question for me: I am using R 2.0.1 under Windows XP. I want to write a function that makes four graphs and stores each of them in graphics history. When the function finishes, in other words, I want its graphical output to be stored in a way that I can look at it using PgUp and PgDn. I think I need commands I can put in a function that

This problem has bugged me for several years now, and our own IT staff has tried a few things, but then never cared enough to persist fixing it. It *is* a bug in evince, the standard pdf viewer on Fedora and IIUC also quite few other Linux distributions, and *not* a bug in R; hence I am asking for help/hints here. A very simple example:

Hi Martin Probably not the answer you're looking for but on the latest Fedora 39 (workstation edition) both locally, and on a freshly installed VM (with just R-core installed), all fonts render correctly for me in evince. $ evince --version GNOME Document Viewer 45.0 $ R --version R version 4.3.3 (2024-02-29) -- "Angel Food Cake" Copyright (C) 2024 The R Foundation for Statistical

The audit trail indicates that PR#3663 is not reproducible and/or fixed, but I believe windows(record=T) is still not working as documented: windows(record=T) for(i in 1:5) plot(0, 0, cex=4, pch=as.character(i)) After cycling through the plots with PgUp and PgDn, the user finds out that plot 5 is lost. Indeed, .SavedPlots reports that only 4 plots were saved. I'm running the example in

Martin, I wouldn't rule out an R issue yet. Fonts are... tricky. So I'm cc'ing Paul Murrell here. I tried several viewers here and I see the following: Chrome, Firefox and Libreoffice Draw show the symbols; however, evince, okular and xournal++ agree on **not** showing the symbols. **If** there is a bug, the bug would be in fontconfig, because these ones AFAIK properly delegate on

Hi Martin and Tim, I also have this bug. Though I think not necessarily with all the same fonts as Martin. Using Martin's code: https://imgur.com/a/ILUoe3H Fedora 39, Evince 45.0 It's a bug with Evince. I think. I think it's substituting in a font set that doesn't have all the required symbols. I think it should be possible to install the required fonts, but I haven't

HI I?aki,? That's interesting.? I may be wrong but I think it's the Symbol font that's got the substitution bug, not Helvetica.? ? fc-match "Symbol" StandardSymbolsPS.t1: "Standard Symbols PS" "Regular" Is what I get, but then in the Evince properties it's telling me that it's substituting Symbol with "Noto Sans Regular", despite the

Hi I don't think this is an R issue (it is separate from the Cairo Symbol font problem). For PDF output, R actually relies on the Symbol font having the Adobe Symbol Encoding (Appendix D of the PDF Reference https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/pdfstandards/pdfreference1.7old.pdf) and just outputs the font as "Symbol", which relies on it being one of the Standard

I see. Peter, you are right about the font that causes the issue. Paul, thanks for your insights. I'll bring this to the Fedora font experts to see if we can arrive at a more permanent fix. I'll report back with any conclusion. @Martin: Meanwhile, at least you have options. One is to embed the fonts, either as Peter suggested or using cairo_pdf instead. Alternatively, Peter also has shown

a simple question how does one produce plots on two different graphics devices? / allan

Adobe doesn't seem to have acroread for x86_64 linux, or at least I don't see it anywhere. Anybody know otherwise? Evince and other tools work pretty well, but I have always liked having the "real thing" around for those occasions when they don't. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- I can do all

I have run into several pdf documents that request a password with evince; but not with Adobe. [rey at reylinux docs]$ rpm -qa |grep evince evince-0.6.0-13.el5 [rey at reylinux docs]$ evince Mir* Error: Unsupported version/revision (4/4) of Standard security handler Error: Incorrect password Any workaround or do I just need to use adobe on WinXP? -- M Reynolds McClatchey Jr VP

Hi, I've been using LaTeX for a few years on Mac OS X, and I'd like to use it on CentOS now. I installed a complete environment using 'yum groupinstall "Authoring and Publishing"' and then installing tetex-xdvi, plus manually installing the 'memoir' class. I can run 'latex document.tex' ok: the resulting .dvi looks nice in xdvi. When running

We have some small networks with connectivity to the Internet through firewall routers.? The smallest has one Windows 7 system and three Linux systems including both CentOS 6 and CentOS 7 machines.? The Windows 7 systems have full Adobe packages that are updated regularly and are trouble free. On the Linux systems, evince has been our go to product for viewing and printing .pdf documents.? This

is there something other than evince on centos 5.1 to view pdf's? Every time I am remoted in using vncviewer and look at attached emails it KILLS my X11 session. If I am at my desktop it works fine. xpdf used to work fine on 4.X - but it was removed in 5.X. Is there an alternative? Thanks, Jerry

I had, in the past, a .pdf reader that also permitted me to fill in some information, when I received a .pdf file. I have KPDF installed, but that seems to only have Reader capability. Trying to install xpdf, with yum, I get this dependency error from rpmforge: 1:xpdf-3.02-8.el5.rf.i386 from rpmforge has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: libXm.so.4 is needed by package

I'm having trouble finding documentation on how to activate the "record graphics history" option via a command line (as opposed to having to use the menu). I would like to store a series of graphics. The readme says: `The History menu allows the recording of plots. When plots have been recorded they can be reviewed by PgUp and PgDn, saved and replaced. Recording can be turned

Dear list, First, I am not writing to ask about embedding Computer Modern font in graphics produced by R. I am generating plots to be saved using pdf() and postscript() in R, and I make use of some math expressions that are provided by R, namely, some greek letters. My question is, do I need to embed the fonts that include these math symbols (say, if they are going out for publication, to have

Hi, I'm looking for a usable PDF viewer with CentOS 4.3. On my previous install (Slack running XFCE with a handful of GNOME libs), I used Evince, which is just great. Looks like this is an Achilles' heel in CentOS, as I tested three available PDF viewers (ggv, gsview, acroread) with various PDF documents downloaded from the internet (which all display perfectly with Evince): either the
