similar to: Changing ComputerModern in postscript(...): A first attempt at contributing....

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04. I could use some advice about fonts in postscript devices. > sessionInfo() R version 2.9.0 (2009-04-17) i486-pc-linux-gnu locale: LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8;LC_MONETARY=C;LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8;LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8;LC_NAME=C;LC_ADDRESS=C;LC_TELEPHONE=C;LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8;LC_IDENTIFICATION=C attached base

Hi, I'm trying to get the correct font used when generating italic text in an R grahic. I have a set of labels that print correctly except it seems the italic text is justr a slanted version of the TeX computer modern normal font... I'm using R v1.8.1 on Windows XP, and I get the same result if I build the pdf using Adobe Acrobat or using MikTeX The labels:

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');

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 <-

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

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 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:

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,

Dear R Wizards: sorry, I need more help. hopefully, it will help others in the future. I am using R 2.2.0 Patched (2005-11-07 r36217). [a] # copy from the postscriptFont documentation CMitalic <- postscriptFont("ComputerModern", c("CM_regular_10.afm", "CM_boldx_10.afm", "cmti10.afm", "cmbxti10.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

I have been trying to use the Computer Modern fonts in postscript output from R, but I have run into a few problems and limitations. I did read and follow the instructions in the documentation. The first problem is that R sometimes needs to use a minus sign in the text in plots, but the non-symbol computer modern fonts contain only a hyphen. There is no way that I can find to tell R to use a

Dear R wizards: Has anyone gotten the TeXtext font encoding to work? If I execute: if (is.null(postscriptFonts()$lucida)) { luafmfiles <- c("/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/yandy/lubright/lbr.afm", "/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/yandy/lubright/lbd.afm", "/usr/share/texmf/fonts/afm/yandy/lubright/lbi.afm",

Dear friends: Forgot to include three more data files: http://www.websher.net/tmp/user.reg http://www.websher.net/tmp/system.reg http://www.websher.net/tmp/userdef.reg Thank you again. 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'm using Wine-20010510 to run Quickbooks. Printing seems to work okay, as long as I use the "default" forms. When I try to modify the defaults, by changing the fonts on parts of forms, the printed result is that the font is tiny. For example, 18-pt Helvetica looks printed out like 4-point Helvetica (or maybe even smaller!) Is there something in the configuration that I

Dear list members, Every "modern" OS comes with dozens of useless fonts, so that the current font drop-down list in most programs is overcrowded with fonts one never will use. Selecting a useful font becomes a nightmare. In an attempt to ease the selection of useful fonts, I began looking into sorting fonts using some statistical techniques. I summed my ideas on the OpenOffice.org

Hello, I have some Problems with getting WINE to print. I'm using wine on a non-Windows machine with Debian Potato. Everything works fine except printing. When I try to print something I always get something like "Printer not setup properly". The errormessage from wine is err:psdrv:PSDRV_AFMGetCharMetrics No whitespace found. My .wine/config -file looks like this: [parallelports]

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 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",
