Dear R wizards:
[a] I believe that the pdf device does not yet fully support TeXencoding.
(under R-2.2.0, the pdf file created with Textext as font encoding still dies
when post-processed by ghostscript.) are there any workarounds, or are there
utilities that would allow a TeXencoded font to be re-encoded/converted into
ISOLatin, perhaps, which R could then handle beautifully?
[b] is there a way to use an arbitrary postscript font and position it into a
ps or pdf graphic (i.e., without it being in the family {5 fonts} that I am
using for the main drawing)? in a weird latex/R mix, my intent is something
like
pdf(file="test.pdf");
plot( c(0,1),c(0,1) );
test.font = fontis("postscriptfont.pfb"); # may need a tfm
specification, too?
text( 0.5, 0.5, fontobject("some text", test.font));
dev.off();
help would be highly appreciated, as always.
sincerely,
/ivo welch
