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",

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 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 <-

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",

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",

I am using the standard phonetic font "Doulos SIL" in a graph (http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=DoulosSILfont) This is an example: windowsFonts(IPA="TT Doulos SIL") barplot(c(1,2,3,4,5),names=c("\u{0251}","\u{0252}","\u{0253}","\u{0254}","\u{0255}"),family="IPA") However, I am unable

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

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04.

I'm writing a book using Sweave which includes Unicode characters which R's postscript and pdf graphics devices don't handle properly. The cairo graphics device does handle these characters properly. Thus I'd like to be able to instruct Sweave to use cairo (either sometimes or always) to produce graphics when it processes R code. Is this possible? Many thanks, Roger Levy --

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 <-

Just to add to this (I've been looking through the archive) problem with display unicode fonts in pdf document in R If you can use the Cairo package to create pdf on Mac, it seems quite happy with pushing unicode characters through (probably still font family dependant whether it will display) probstring <- c(' \u2264 0.2',' \u2268 0.4',' \u00FC 0.6',' \u2264

Hi all, I'm having problems embedding fonts in my graphics - and I've tried embedFonts to no avail. I have a pdf file and pdffonts tells me: name type emb sub uni object ID ------------------------------------ ----------------- --- --- --- --------- ZapfDingbats Type 1 no no no 5 0 Helvetica

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",

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 am using Extrafont package to install more fonts for my graphs. My primary graphic tool is ggplot2. I seem to have problem installing the package, but could not pinpoint where it is. I try to follow the instruction here: https://github.com/wch/extrafont I guess (but am not sure) the fonts are successfully installed. Problem encountered: 1. The following line sometimes yields an

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

Hi Folks, I'm trying to get rgl.Sweave to produce plots with transparency. However, it just seems to produce opaque plots when pdf is the output type. Perhaps this is a known issue? I'll just use .png in the meantime, but wanted to see about this, as I didn't see it in the documentation (though it's possible I missed it). Thanks, Allie \documentclass{article} \title {rgl

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

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

dear R-experts---can someone please refer me to the latest installation instructions for graphics fonts in R (the pdf device)? (I would like to install the Charter font from the texlive 2011 distribution under OSX.) sincerely, /iaw ---- Ivo Welch (ivo.welch at gmail.com)
