Dear all,

I am having exactly the same problem as Andy on an Intel Mac (see below
/ https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2009-May/006208.html) with
the degree symbol. I am using R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31) on Xubuntu
10.04 with Windows fonts copied from /WINDOWS/Fonts and included via
'sudo dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig' and 'sudo fc-cache'.

Any help would be highly appreciated, Christian


Christian,

I believe the solution is:

sudo apt-get remove ttf-symbol-replacement

Not sure why this package is being installed, but removing this solved the problem. I had a test version of Maverick in a virtual box that was basically stock, and was able to demo(plotmath) perfectly. I started comparing package lists and this was the problem child.
