Colleagues,

Using R 2.10.1 in OS X (Snow Leopard), I created JPEG documents that were intended to include italicized text. In the JPEG versions, the italics appear in bold-face. The identical code (except for the call to the device) yields italics in PDF. A minimal example is:

PDF version:
pdf("plot.pdf")
plot(1,1)
mtext(bquote(italic(P) < .(0.005)))
dev.off()

JPEG version:
jpeg(file="plot.jpeg", pointsize=12, bg="white", res=150, quality=100)
plot(1,1)
mtext(bquote(italic(P) < .(0.005)))
dev.off()

I can't find any info in the help pages for either jpeg or bquote that explain this.

Any ideas?

Dennis
