I think the rule is that you can do anything as long as you don't complain.

I've just realized that it could be handy to have a 'decreasing' argument in 'is.unsorted'. And I'm cheekily hoping someone else will implement it. It is easy enough to work around (with 'rev'), but would be less hassle with an argument. The case I have in mind uses 'is.unsorted' in 'stopifnot'. Pat -- Patrick Burns pburns at pburns.seanet.com

Dear All, Having now successfully started using Sweave, I have just noticed an odd side effect with fonts. Using plain LaTeX, I have had no problems using \usepackage{palatino} or \usepackage{times} and the font correctly changes. However, once I convert the tex document into Snw, and run it through R CMD SWEAVE, LaTeX seems to ignore this package directive. The LaTeX log suggests the font

Everytime I start a program with wine-20010629 on Red Hat Linux, font metrics get updated. I am getting fonts through the Xserver (no xfont server) (currently M$, ghostscript, Type1, misc and 75dpi fonts) Is this behaviour normal? Everytime this happens, I get lots of output like fixme:font:LFD_InitFontInfo DBCS fonts like '-urw-century schoolbook

It seems like I must be missing something since I haven't been able to find mention of this. Under Windows 7 I'm not getting carriage returns in the output of BATCH files using 2.15.0 (both 64-bit and 32-bit). They are in the startup messages, but not for the real output. Is this on purpose?

I suggest that there be an additional sentence in the explanation for the 'repos' argument in the help file for 'install.packages': If the repository is on a local drive, then the string should begin with \code{file:}, e.g., \code{"file:J:/Rrepos"}. Perhaps I'm missing some subtlety, but it makes things work in my case. Pat -- Patrick Burns pburns at

Here's a weird problem that I hope someone can give me some hints for. Actions: Build a package of all R functions -- no compiled code. No indication of anything being wrong.

Hello R people I always wander what other people say about the R help. Finally after some years of using, I decided that it is probably time to try to do something about it, because the feeling of gritting teeth does not go away with years of usage. :) Moreover, I think it is one of the few things where R does not kick asses to the other statistical softwares. So, to the point: I get the feeling

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.

In Splus, if I wanted to use Bookman-Demi instead of the default Helvetica, I would specify font = 18 as a graphical parameter for a postscript printer. In R it seems font can take only the values 1 to 4 which change only the style but it's still Helvetica. There's some great flexibility using Hershey vector fonts, but it appears they are all mono-spaced. I wish to use proportional

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.
