To follow up on my previous message, in case others are interested,
this is what I did, which seems to work for me.
First, the .ttf files need converting to afm:
ttf2afm /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/arial.ttf > ~/arial.afm
ttf2afm /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/ariali.ttf > ~/ariali.afm
ttf2afm /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/arialbd.ttf > ~/arialbd.afm
ttf2afm /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts/arialbi.ttf > ~/arialbi.afm
and then I did the following in R:
postscript(file="try.ps", horizontal=F,
onefile=F,
width=4, height=4,
family=c("/home/stephen/arial.afm",
"/home/stephen/arialbd.afm",
"/home/stephen/ariali.afm",
"/home/stephen/arialbi.afm"),
pointsize=12)
hist(rnorm(100))
dev.off()
Stephen
