similar to: Mac OS X R.app has trouble rendering certain fonts.

I have been making simple functions to display regressions in a new package called "rockchalk". For 3d illustrations, my functions use persp, and I've grown to like working with it. As an example of the kind of things I like to do, you might consult my lecture on multicollinearity, which is by far the most detailed illustration I've prepared.

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 Rexperts, I have recently build R-2.3.0 from source on a Linux system and have encountered the following problem (perhaps not exactly a problem, but a minor display flaw): > demo() +------------here is how the output looks in less------------+ Demos in package <E2><80><98>base<E2><80><99>: is.things Explore some properties of R

Hi .. I would like to have math symbols in perspective plots i tried : persp(x,y,z,xlab=expression(phi)) but it plots it as phi. Thanks. Harsh __________________________________________________ [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

We've only switched from redhat 7.3 to 9 several weeks ago, and I found today, that the last three pages of demo(plotmath) uses quite wrong plot symbols, e.g sum(....) gives (+) {+ in circle} instead of the Sigma-like summation --- but only in "text" not in title, i.e., probably a font problem. With postscript() {and hence dev.print() of x11()} all is fine. Hence it must be an X

Hi Martin and Tim, I also have this bug. Though I think not necessarily with all the same fonts as Martin. Using Martin's code: https://imgur.com/a/ILUoe3H Fedora 39, Evince 45.0 It's a bug with Evince. I think. I think it's substituting in a font set that doesn't have all the required symbols. I think it should be possible to install the required fonts, but I haven't

Excuse my asking here than on R-help, but it may be a Fedora question. On Fedora 7, I'm running a fresh R 2.7.1 built from source, usually in en_GB, but also tried in en_GB.UTF8. Running example(plotmath) generates lots of: Pango-WARNING **: shape engine failure, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'Symbol Not-Rotated ...' Setting: x11(type="Xlib") relieves the

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

Any way of mixing bold and plain fonts in text() (or mtext(), etc.)? I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require manually spacing two calls of text(). For example: text(x=0,y=0,labels="bold(Figure 1.) plain(This is a picture.)") where "Figure 1." is bold-faced and "This is a picture." is plain-faced. I've tried to trick plotmath into doing this but

HI I?aki,? That's interesting.? I may be wrong but I think it's the Symbol font that's got the substitution bug, not Helvetica.? ? fc-match "Symbol" StandardSymbolsPS.t1: "Standard Symbols PS" "Regular" Is what I get, but then in the Evince properties it's telling me that it's substituting Symbol with "Noto Sans Regular", despite the

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

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

Hi all, Is there a simple way to place underlined text in a plot? Hershey vector fonts seem to have a single underscore character ("\\ul"), but no underlined font. Plotmath (ref: ?plotmath) comes very close with: R> plot(0:1,0:1, type="n") R> text(.1, .1, quote(bar(Hello))) but that's overlined, not underlined. Also: R> text(.2, .2,

Hi Martin Probably not the answer you're looking for but on the latest Fedora 39 (workstation edition) both locally, and on a freshly installed VM (with just R-core installed), all fonts render correctly for me in evince. $ evince --version GNOME Document Viewer 45.0 $ R --version R version 4.3.3 (2024-02-29) -- "Angel Food Cake" Copyright (C) 2024 The R Foundation for Statistical

This problem has bugged me for several years now, and our own IT staff has tried a few things, but then never cared enough to persist fixing it. It *is* a bug in evince, the standard pdf viewer on Fedora and IIUC also quite few other Linux distributions, and *not* a bug in R; hence I am asking for help/hints here. A very simple example:

I've been testing plotmath. But I'm getting some funny output one one computer. The problem is that characters are 'jumbled' and overstrike when symbols are introduced. Sample code: mu <- 440.0 sigma <- 12.5 myx <- seq( mu - 4*sigma, mu+ 4*sigma, length.out=500) myDensity <- dnorm(myx,mean=mu,sd=sigma) # Here's one way to retrieve the values of mu and sigma and

Dear R-help community: I have been searching for an elegant solution to the question posed in my subject. I would like to be able to use any of the R functions like text() or mtext() to display some text with mixed font families. For example, a label like "huge-class background load", where the word "huge" is in Courier and the rest is in the default family (or any other

Full_Name: Murray H Smith Version: 1.7.1 OS: Windows2000 Submission from: (NULL) (202.36.29.1) This alleged bug is Windows specific and occurs when using Windows metafile plots. The problem does not occur in a Linux version. It does not occur in the pt rintout when a graphic is saved to a postscript file under Windows. The problem came to light when using plotmath to label a plot with

Dear list On Fedora 31 the pango library has recently updated to version >= 1.44 and in doing so has switched to using the HarfBuzz library (from FreeType) and dropped Adobe Type 1 font support. This causes problems with plotmath as all bar one of the glyphs doesn't render (see attached PNG image if it makes it through the list filters - if not I have shared a copy via my google drive:
