You are after what Adobe calls: udblacute; 0171. It is recognized
in
the list of adobe glyphs:
> str(tools::Adobe_glyphs[371, ])
'data.frame': 1 obs. of 2 variables:
$ adobe : chr "udblacute"
$ unicode: chr "0171"

I have tried a variety of the pdfFonts installed on my Mac without
success. You can perhaps make a list of fonts on your machines with
names(pdfFonts()). Perhaps the range of fonts and the glyphs they
contain is different on your machines. I get consistently warning
messages saying there is a conversion failure:
> pdf("trial.pdf", family="Helvetica")
# also tried with font="Helvetica" but I think that is erroneous
> plot(1,type="n")
> text(1,1,"print \U0170\U0171")

And this is despite my system saying the \U0170 and \U0171 are
present
in the Helvetica font. Also tried family=URWHelvetica and
family=NimbusSanand and a bunch of others without success, but my
last
best hope after reading the material in help(postscript) in the
"Families" section had been NimbusSan. There is also information on
that page regarding encodings that appears to be very machine
specific.
Note that \U0171 != ü. See
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/171/index.htm
Anyway, I have no problem with ű (~u") and other special
Hungarian
characters in my R-Gui. It is correctly displayed in the console,
in
plots, etc. The problem is with the pdf conversion.
The same holds for my Ubuntu Hardy Heron system*, with exactly the
same
error messages as reported in an earlier thread
http://www.mail-archive.com/r-help@r-project.org/msg89792.html
As far as I know, Hershey fonts do not contain \U0171.

Denes

Dear List,
I would like to print a plot into pdf. The problem is that the
character
\U0171 is replaced by a simple 'u' (i.e. without accents) in
the pdf
file.
Example:
# this works fine
plot(1,type="n")
text(1,1,"print \U0171")
# this fails
pdf("trial.pdf")
plot(1,type="n")
text(1,1,"print \U0171")
dev.off()
Have you tried:
pdf("trial.pdf")
plot(1,type="n")
text(1,1,"print ü")
dev.off()
Your default screen fonts may not be the same as your default pdf
fonts. A lot depends on system specifics, none of which have you
provided.
I found an earlier post at
http://www.mail-archive.com/r-help@r-project.org/msg65541.html,
but
it is
too hard to understand at my R-level. Any help is appreciated.
