The pdf is clearly working (see my own first reply), but then, could it be that there's a difference between Jinsong's computer or his way of using R and the others, Rui and Derek ? The ugly rectangles are typically shown for characters for which the graphics device does not find any fonts... and in principle there may be subtle differences. Is it always within RStudio which I think *does* use R's own "graphapp" based Windows device. It that's still true, then same would probably happen within bare RGui. For me, on a (2016!) Windows terminal server, the bgroup() things also work nicely, at least if I use R from ESS (-> Rterm).
