PROBLEM: The ability to save the contents of an R Graphics window as a postscript or PDf file through the drop-down menu (File -> Save As -> Postscript, or File -> Save As -> PDF) results in the error message below being printed to the R Console. ERROR MESSAGE: ----------------------------------------------------------------- Error: Invalid font type In addition: Warning messages: 1: font family not found in PostScript font database 2: font family not found in PostScript font database > > ----------------------------------------------------------------- TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM: 1. Using the R Console, create some graph in R; for example, plot(rnorm(100)). 2. Select File -> Save As -> PostScript (or File -> Save As -> PDF). 3. Supply a file name and click the "Save" button. FOUR OTHER RELEVANT NOTES: 1. I checked to see if the same error results when invoking the functions pdf(file=...) or postscript(file=...). No error results, and the content of the output (.ps or .pdf) file produces a duplicate of what appears in the R Graphics window. 2. I checked, but did not see any other bug reports in the system that are relevant to this problem. 3. Before I submitted this R Bug Report, I reinstalled the PostScript fonts, and then reinstalled R Version 2.6.0. This did not change the outcome. 4. This problem did not exist in previous versions of R on any of my computers. It exists on all computers for version 2.6.0 of R. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
