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:

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",

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()

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 there, I am a Chinese R user. I hope to display Chinese character in a plot, and than save it in PostScript format. I have read the article titled "Non-Standard Fonts in PostScript and PDF Graphics", especially the section about CJK fonts. I also tried the code: > pdf("chinese.pdf", width=3, height=1) > grid.text("\u4F60\u597D", y=2/3,

Everyone, With the update to Centos 7.5 it is apparent that we lost the Courier 10 Pitch fonts that were in "xorg-x11-fonts-Type1". Does anyone know how to get this back. Greg Ennis

Hello there, I have a habit of compiling R-patched and R-devel every few days. Recently, I noticed the following problem: I downloaded both versions with Revision: 40421, Last Changed Date: 2007-01-09. R-patched compiles with no problem. R-devel compiles fine but when it starts to make PDF documentation it generates the following (tail of the "make distribution" output): ! pdfTeX

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, 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! 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",

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, 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",

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",

dear R wizards--- I would like to do some book-on-demand printing at a popular printer named lulu, but lulu requires inclusion even of the basic postscript fonts. Interestingly, my book itself does not need the 14 base acrobat fonts, only the embedded R figures do. Of course, I really would like to get pdftex to embed the fonts, but how to do this is not obvious either. [This method seems

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 ( =

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 <-

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 <-
