Dear All, I would like to export, as a pdf file, a plot with the LaTeX font lmodern as the font of my graph. Could somebody please help me? Thanks in advance, Paul

Hello, I can generate PDF documents and they look good on acrobat reader. However, when I import the PDFs in Pagemaker 7.0 (on windows2K), I get an error message saying it does not recognize the Helvetica font. I got this from ?pdf: family the font family to be used, one of "AvantGarde", "Bookman", "Courier", "Helvetica", "Helvetica-Narrow",

Hi, I'd like to use the font "Frutiger" in my pdf files generated by R. but I only manage this if I create a postscript file with postscript() and the option family = c( "LT_14361.afm", "LT_14363.afm", "LT_14373.afm", "LT_14375.afm" ) and convert this postscript file to pdf. If I specify the option 'family' like above ( =

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.

Hi all. My setup: x86 Arch Linux? with Wine 20030318. I have a Microsoft Word document that I'm trying to open in TXWords? under Wine. This document is written using the Bookman font. When I open the document in TXWords, all the text is displayed in the Courier New font. Bookman is available through X: root@test04# xlsfonts -fn '*bookman*' -urw-urw bookman

Hi, I have to make eps files with fonts embedded. I use the following postscript command: postscript("fig3a.eps", width = 5.2756, height = 7.27, pointsize = 7,horizontal = FALSE, onefile = FALSE, paper = "special",family = "Times") plot(...) dev.off() Are fonts automatically embedded in this way? How can I see that? If not, how to do it? regards, Rudi.

Hello to the list, I noticed something that it seems weird to me with postscript device in dev.print function. Suppose this little code: x<-1:10 par(family="sans") plot(x, main="main") Using dev.print with pdf device brings no problem dev.print(device=pdf, file="test.pdf") But using postscript device dev.print(device=postscript, file="test.ps") I get

Hi, I'd like to know if it is possible to use Hershey vector fonts to create very primitive musical notation. If I can hang some whole notes on these lines X11() plot(0,0, xlim=c(0,10), ylim=c(0,10)) # Staves: for (i in c(seq(from=2,to=2.8,by=0.2),seq(from=4,to=4.8,by=0.2))) { abline(h=i) } it is enough.

I wonder if we couldn't just use the PNG , SVG, support from the GNU plotutils from which we already have the Hershey scalable vector fonts [-> help(Hershey)] The new plotutils (July 2000) do support these (and will probably even better in the future, i.e., we can build on others people free software. Paul [who built "Hershey" into R], do you think this path is worth pursuing?

Hello R users, I am new to R, so this may be a very stupid question. I need to subscript the dotted circle (Hershey escape sequence "\\SO") to a string. I tried using text(.5,.5,substitute( R[disk] == 5 R["\\SO"] ) ) but it turns out to be a syntax error. Do you have any suggestion? Thanks Gaetano

This is a solution I am posting for a problem that others may have. If you want to: 1. Place lattice graphics from R into an Adobe InDesign document, and 2. Use the export as eps function in R to maximize resolution (it is much better than exporting as a metafile or bitmap), and 3. Use long strings of text in your titles or captions or to label your axes. Then you will have problems because:

Dear R users, I would like to use sub- and super-script in axis labels. I assume this is best done using Hershey symbols. When trying to find information on using Hershey font symbols in axis labels, I came across the following discussion thread: http://maths.newcastle.edu.au/~rking/R/help/02a/1857.html Have Hershey font implementations moved on since then? Thanks, Sander. --

Hello! The question is simple: What is the escape sequence for a new line when using Hershey fonts? I obviously tried '\n' but it didn't work (see the sample below). I looked at 'demo(Hershey)' but all it only shows escape sequences for printable characters. The sample I've been using to try to find the escape sequence is below. You can comment or un-comment the

Hi, In the FAQ I read about options to specify different fonts than the default ones for the console (in the file Rprofile) and for the graphical output (Rdevga). I would however like to replace Latin 1 with Latin 2 enconding for both (console and graphical) output in Windows and just graphical output in Linux. I guess it is possible but I did not find the way. How can I use the fonts

Dear R experts- I'm running R 1.2.3 (2001-04-26) on Linux. I need to get special symbols, such as a circle with a dot in it as used to indicate Solar units in astronomy, into my plot axis labels. How can I do this? Using the R documentation on the Hershey font sets, one can plot a Solar symbol within the world coordinates of a plot like this: >plot(1:10,1:10)

So, I''ve been listing to stuff folks have been saying about the Bookman font we use. Most people like the font, but some feel there aren''t enough words/line, so your eyes move too much. So, I spent the weekend playing with typography, and I''ve come up with a compromise. The thing is: it looks good to me, but I don''t want to mess up the read for others
