similar to: R CMD check and postscript fonts

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 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",

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 <-

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 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 <-

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 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",

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! 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. 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",

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 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');

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 First off, thanks to all the various R developers, your package is very impressive. I'm not sure what the protocols are for contributing, and I've not done this before, so please excuse nay obvious errors or oversights... Also I'm by no means an R,TeX/LaTeX, or typesetting expert, I have largely stumbled my way to this point. Objective: I'd like to get R postscript(...) to

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

I create lots of postscript files which I view with ghostview. The beginning of the files all begin something like %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%DocumentNeededResources: font Helvetica %%+ font Helvetica-Bold %%+ font Helvetica-Oblique %%+ font Helvetica-BoldOblique %%+ font Symbol %%DocumentMedia: a4 595 841 0 () () %%Title: R Graphics Output %%Creator: R Software The consequence is that in ghostview,

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

Dear R wizards: [a] I believe that the pdf device does not yet fully support TeXencoding. (under R-2.2.0, the pdf file created with Textext as font encoding still dies when post-processed by ghostscript.) are there any workarounds, or are there utilities that would allow a TeXencoded font to be re-encoded/converted into ISOLatin, perhaps, which R could then handle beautifully? [b] is there a

When I use the postscript with the ComputerModernItalic family, minus signs are not properly displayed, but are changed into capital gammas. The attached test-postscript.pdf file illustrates the problem, which I created starting with the following R code: > postscript("test-postscript.eps", family = "ComputerModernItalic") > plot(seq(-5,5,1),seq(-5,5,1)) > dev.off()
