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 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",

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 recently installed Wine and have been using it to run Delphi executables. Everything is great except the fonts. My forms are made using Arial. I've been trying to install Windows fonts which I downloaded from sourceforge, I installed the cabextract tool but everytime I try to extract the msttcorefonts spec it says failed dependencies the cabextract tools is needed and it's already

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 all, We have a user that would like to create pdf plots using the Arial font. One way for her to do this is to use the Cairo graphics device which produces pdf's beautifully and embeds fonts automatically. She could also install the msttcorefonts package from ubuntu to obtain the Arial font. The problem is that she is using Sweave() to produce a document that contains the pdf plots,

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

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

Greetings. I have been trying to run a VB6 application in Ubuntu using Wine, but it has a significant font issue. Having been successful in RedHat, where there was no problem running the Application's fonts in Wine, it is puzzling why this is not so in Ubuntu. I have followed the support messages (both archived and current) to try to correct the problem. I have installed the

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

Has anyone else had an issue with the font in Firefox? In particular, the font up on the toolbar, buttons, and any text that you type in on a website? I recently installed Firefox (mostly so I can access pages that require the most recent version of Flash) and I get an italicized font with a clear line through the middle of it in the locations I mentioned. It's readable, but just barely.

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

I would like to ensure that all the text in my plot is in the arial font, like in excel and word. I have been saving my graphics to a file using the png() function, and have tried the postscript() function. In the documentation I have not been able to find a way of changing the family argument to an arial font. Does it exist? How would I go about creating a png or ps graphic using Arial?

I was re-running some code that I hadn't run in a couple of months to make barplots in R. I didn't change a single thing in the script, but the plots wouldn't work this time around. The plot itself (the bars and axes) will graph in the window, but no text appears. In the console it says I have a number of errors, all of which say "no font could be found for family

Hello, I installed Office 2007 Professionnal and get an issue (Wine 1.1.42 on Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10). I tried to fix it by installing core fonts and so on but nothing changed. Please have a look at this screenshot: [Image: http://i46.tinypic.com/2ldc13m.jpg ] As you see, the arial font looks awful. Did anyone managed to fix it ? Regards, RedVivi

Hi, when I run this bridge learning program in Wine, it looks like this: [Image: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jamec/nosym.png ] when it should look like this: [Image: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jamec/cpts.PNG ]. So, the spade/heart/diamond/club symbols are missing. They are special characters in the font though (not bitmaps), and the symbols show up in
