Hi Agnes and Camille (and help-list), In Ubuntu 11.10 I needed to use su permissions to copy and gzip the *.afm files manually into "/usr/lib/R/library/grDevices/afm/" to get the Arial embedding to work in R for postscript.
Ie. after following the instructions by Agnes and Camille, I did sudo cp arial*.afm /usr/lib/R/library/grDevices/afm/ gzip /usr/lib/R/library/grDevices/afm/arial*.afm Then the postscript toy example in this thread worked.
