Hi!
I'm running R version 2.4.1 (2006-12-18) on MacOS X 10.4; my $LANG is
ru_RU.KOI8-R.
But we are told that all locales on MacOS X are actually UTF-8: it will
not matter as R knows the charset it is using.
While trying to plot a graph to PDF with cyrillic characters in the
legend, I get warnings (in Russian):

(it's "width of character 0xZZ is unknown")
The output PDF doesn't contain glyphs either.
I've been looking through the docs to figure out what possible extra
parameters I need to specify, but failed to see anything relevant.
From the help page:
family: the font family to be used, see 'postscript'.
encoding: the name of an encoding file. See 'postscript' for details.
See also the article in R-News 2006-2 by Paul Murrell and myself with
worked examples. It is likely that family="URWHelvetica",
encoding="KOI8-R" will work, but you may need to embed the font to display
on the Adobe PDF reader (but not on ones based on GhostScript).
