Tried to do a plot just now and got an error: Error in text.default(2, 6, main, cex = cex) : X11 font -adobe-helvetica-%s-%s-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*, face 1 at size 16 could not be loaded This is reproducible (in my current environment) via: par(mfrow=c(2,2)) plot(1:10) text(2,6,"Oh, hell!",cex=2) This is of course not the real context in which the error originally manifested

Dear Colleagues: I need to make a graphic that uses the Nimbus rather than Helvetica font family so that the font can be embedded in the encapsulated postscript file. This is to satisfy a requirement from a journal for electronic submission of figures. I do the following: postscript('lowess.eps', onefile=FALSE, pointsize=18, horizontal=FALSE, family='NimbusSan')

I recently upgraded my OS to Fedora 8 from Red Hat Enterprise Work Station 3. Before I upgraded certain operations would produce a warning to the effect that a desired font was not available so one had been substituted, which was okay. After the upgrade to Fedora 8, the plotting operation halts midway through and I get the following error message: "X11 font at size 6 could not be loaded"

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04.

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

I am trying to run an R script to create a .png file containing a tree map on a headless Linux server using Xvfb. When I try to run tmPlot, I get the following errors and warnings: Error in grid.Call(L_textBounds, as.graphicsAnnot(x$label), x$x, x$y, : X11 font -adobe-helvetica-%s-%s-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*, face 1 at size 9 could not be loaded Calls: tmPlot ... <Anonymous> ->

I previously posted about this problem on the r-help list, but was told that I should switch over to the r-sig-fedora list. So here goes: When trying to do a plot in a certain context I got an error: Error in text.default(2, 6, main, cex = cex) : X11 font -adobe-helvetica-%s-%s-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*, face 1 at size 16 could not be loaded This is reproducible (in my current environment)

I'm using Wine-20010510 to run Quickbooks. Printing seems to work okay, as long as I use the "default" forms. When I try to modify the defaults, by changing the fonts on parts of forms, the printed result is that the font is tiny. For example, 18-pt Helvetica looks printed out like 4-point Helvetica (or maybe even smaller!) Is there something in the configuration that I

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:

I create lots of postscript files which I view with ghostview. The beginning of the files all begin something like %!PS-Adobe-3.0 %%DocumentNeededResources: font Helvetica %%+ font Helvetica-Bold %%+ font Helvetica-Oblique %%+ font Helvetica-BoldOblique %%+ font Symbol %%DocumentMedia: a4 595 841 0 () () %%Title: R Graphics Output %%Creator: R Software The consequence is that in ghostview,

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

hello all, when trying to produce a plot with the following code postscript("g6-5000-0705-b.ps") par(mfrow=c(4,1)) for (i in 1:4) { somc<-cumsum(betaC[,i])/c(1:N) plot(somc,ylim=c(min(somc),max(somc))); } dev.off() I get a postscript file g6-5000-0705-b.ps, but if I try to open it with ghostscript, or to convert it to pdf, I get the following error : Error: /invalidfont in

I am running centos 4.x and 5 x86_64 and using the script below and the slider bar at the bottom I cannot get fonts bigger than 50. someone else posted a followup and said he has the same issue. What can be happening here??? xlsfonts shows that bigger fonts are available. How can I get bigger fonts??? Note - I had to do a "yum install tk" also... Thanks, Jerry

Background: I run an NT 4.0 installation that also boots to my primary Linux (Red Hat 9) sitting on a partition in a second drive. Earlier, after installing Red Hat 9, I tried to install wine, but it Had Problems, even when I tried some of the solutions. So I waited. Recently, I tried to install an updated version of wine using an rpm, so I tried to unstall the old stuff. Wouldn't

I'm having this problem - and I have seen earlier post on the same problem - but the solutions either do not work for me or (being fairly new to linux) I do not understand the suggested actions. So here goes: Whenever I try to add a 'main' title R responds with an error that it can't find any X11 fonts. ### Very basic examples ### # 1. No error (a scatterplot x=1:10 and
