similar to: Problem with Palatino font in pdf figures

A professor here at Vanderbilt sent me the following code. Each of the text strings should right justify against the center vertical bar, but because of font issues it doesn't. I understand that there are workarounds, but I was just curious if this was consistent across all platforms. On linux with R 2.7.1 and R-trunk (r46103), both acrobat reader 8 and kpdf render it incorrectly. How

Hello, I can generate PDF documents and they look good on acrobat reader. 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. I got this from ?pdf: family the font family to be used, one of "AvantGarde", "Bookman", "Courier", "Helvetica", "Helvetica-Narrow",

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

I had, in the past, a .pdf reader that also permitted me to fill in some information, when I received a .pdf file. I have KPDF installed, but that seems to only have Reader capability. Trying to install xpdf, with yum, I get this dependency error from rpmforge: 1:xpdf-3.02-8.el5.rf.i386 from rpmforge has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: libXm.so.4 is needed by package

Hi, I'd like to be able to use KDEs kprinter (kprinter --stdin) as alternative printer for my wine driven apps (e.g. winword). What I like especially is the fine working PDF printer and the feature to attach the PDF immediately to an email. I tried already the cups-pdf printer. But this driver doesn't create valid PDF for my MS WORD document. KPDF and Acrobat are at least not able to

Dear All, I would like to export, as a pdf file, a plot with the LaTeX font lmodern as the font of my graph. Could somebody please help me? Thanks in advance, Paul

I received the following as a Debain bug report (cf http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=469560) To reproduce: 1) Run the following commands: filename <- 'test.pdf' pdf(filename) plot(1:10) dev.off() 2) Open test.pdf (I use Evince, but the same with Adobe Acrobat). Make sure there are ten hollow points in the plot. This is correct.

<p>I have been reviewing Louis' script (4-setup-sernet-samba4-MEMBER-wheezy.sh) and within the following line (line 310) is an odd character combination at the end of the line:</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">if [ ${SMBPRINTING} = no ]; then</span><br /><span

my thought is that the people that are complaining that the buttons and look of programs running in wine are the same ones that allow Microsoft to keep working on their GUI and not focusing on the kernel of their operating systems (anyone remember the talking paperclip in MSoffice?) They're worried about how pretty everythign is and not how it performs. hence the reason that Vista and xp never

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

Duncan is on the right track. Thanks. In the CMD window start "c:\Program Files\R\R-2.5.0\doc\manual\R-admin.pdf" opens another CMD window with the quoted string as title.

I have Windows XP machines with different software configurations. My laptop has Adobe Reader 8 and Adobe Acrobat 6. My desktop has Adobe Reader 8 and does not have Adobe Acrobat. On both machines, PDF extensions are registered to Adobe Reader 8.0, and double-clicking a pdf file in Windows Explorer opens Adobe Reader 8.0. In R-2.5.0, with all Adobe windows closed, the command

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 everyone, we have a windows program, called Assist that needs Acrobat Reader to run completely since it is basically a PDF viewer. This programs has plugins for Acrobat. I can run successfully Assist & Acrobat reader separately but Assist cannot run Acrobat by itself, I get a message that Acrobat is not running. Is it possible to do this with wine ?
