similar to: using Arial font

Hi, Late last year there was a thread on r-help about installing Arial fonts on linux machines: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02/archive/8548.html I too would like to use Arial fonts in some R plots created on my redhat machine. I've installed the TrueType fonts from http://corefonts.sourceforge.net/ -- there is now a directory /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/ and xlsfonts reports

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:

I have problem to have fonts in graphics using GDD. R version: R 2.2.1 (2005-12-20). GDD version: GDD_0.1-8.tar.gz Platform: Linux 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 #2 SMP Sat Nov 4 21:16:47 EST 2006 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux I have configured the basefont.mapping file accordingly to the path of the font on my computer: base.norm:/usr/share/fonts/corefonts/arial.ttf

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, I have been asked by a publisher to change the font style of a lattice plot in my manuscript. I have consulted documentation on trellis graphics and the excellent book "R graphics", but am still not sure how I could create plots with Arial as the font style for text in the plot. I am running R (Version 2.3.1 (2006-06-01)) under debian Linux. I have msttcorefonts installed.

Hi, I've installed wine 1.1.19 (devel version, with ./configure, make depend && make, make install) and the fonts are weird. Bellow, some pictures: http://img401.imageshack.us/my.php?image=79558893.png http://img123.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cs2z.png The fonts dir Code: ls /home/wiltave/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/ Andale_Mono.ttf LiberationMono-Italic.ttf andalemo.ttf

I'm using wine 0.9.7 from the extras repository on Fedora Core 4. I've installed a windows program using wine. The program works very well; however, the fonts it uses are ugly and difficult to read. The rest of my system (KDE) uses smooth, beautiful, anti-aliased fonts, and this windows program is the only exception. I read the FAQ on the wine homepage, and it says to copy the

First off, for those who have done some R&D on this with LiveZilla v3 series, kudos indeed. I noticed LiveZilla is at v4.0.1.2 now. I have not dived into trying the installation process under Ubuntu 10.04 (32-bit and 64-bit desktop systems here) just yet, but wanted to reach out and see if anyone has tried such? Potential issues that may be encountered (with or without solutions; with

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",

So anyway, I have been using linux for years now, currently Fedora 12, and just recently I opened a box and found several of my old windows games. Starcraft, Heroes, Age of Empires, Stronghold, etc, some of which I installed. Then I came to Masters of Orion. This game I figured my crappy netbook could handle, and I get a bunch of "??????????" s in place of the actual text in the

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 all, I am a real novice to R. :) I am struggling with a problem for generating colored dendrogram. I have searched the R list and complied/collected a R code which can generated a colored dendrogram based on the rainbow color and 4x4 similarity matrix (say matrix:m). In this dendrogram, each leaf is colored differently. But, I do not want the leaf colored on a random basis. I want to assign

I am trying to install on a CentOS5 box http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/files/msttcorefonts-2.0-1.noarch.rpm then did an xfs restart, even an alt-ctrl-backspace. The fonts are located in /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/ with the owner root & 644. I can't see them when I go to preferences > fonts. I have another computer with CentOS5, the fonts are installed and I can use them w/o

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. Benjamin I've been trying for some time to install my copy of Word97 (which I own, having purchased it directly from Microsoft with my own license number). I have tried the latest Wine 0.9.14. To do

Greetings All. According to the PLoS (Public Library of Science) Guidelines for Figure preparation, if a figure is submitted as EPS rather than TIFF then "Figure text must be in Arial font" -- see: [1] http://www.plosntds.org/static/figureGuidelines.action#text and also other sections in that web-page [2] http://www.plosntds.org/static/figureGuidelines.action Now, Arial font is not

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

This winbox application is one that I use to manage routers for myself and my customers, so it is unlikely that there are many others trying to use it. I have used this program (through several versions of the program itself) on my Fedora laptop from FC8 all the way to Fedora 14. I don't know what wine versions that spans, but it's over 5 years and it has worked flawlessly. When I first

Hello there, am I really the only one, who compiled wine20050211 source, run wineinstall script, changed [fonts] section in config to match my dirs (ttf, afm) on my Mandrake 10.1 system AND STILL HAVING ALMOST UNREADABLE FONTS in applications using standard windows fonts (not its own)? (I'm not using any M$ stuff, including fonts - just those in X windows (xfs running)). Nyyr
