Thanks,
The following piece of code demonstrates a problem I still have.
pdf(file="fonttest.pdf",fonts=c("Helvetica"))
plot(1:10,main="",xlab="")
par(family="Helvetica",font=1)
title(main="Helvetica")
par(family="Helvetica",font=2)
title(sub="Helvetica-Bold")
par(family="Helvetica",font=3)
title(xlab="Helvetica-Oblique")
dev.off()
The font= parameter seems not to be respected.
I do not get bold or italics.
What am I doing wrong or not understand here?
My original problem was that I had not understood that the
fonts parameter is absolutely necessary when opening the device
when one wants to use par(family= ).
BTW, this is R 2.3.1 on Windows XP.
