Hi
R-2.8.1, Suse 11.1
I'm having problems with pdf(). In the following
transcript, file 'f.pdf' does not use the expected symbols for the plot.
It uses a 'q' letter instead of the open circle I get when
viewing the graphics window.
I also get the same under r47678.
Does anyone else get this?
Yes, if you use a broken PDF viewer (you have not told us yours). From ?pdf
useDingbats: logical. Should small circles be rendered _via_ the
Dingbats font? Defaults to true, which produces smaller and
better output - this is provided for those who insist on
using broken PDF viewers.
I get the problem in evince but not acroread in F10.
The problem is caused by missing fontconfig rules in openSUSE 11.1
(that the PDF library poppler depends on). I reported the problem a
while ago here http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18002
(instructions on how to fix the issue are included) and filed a bug at
the openSUSE bug database
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434676. The bug was
closed, but I reopened it.
