When I offered (on R-help) the output of quartzFonts() as a potential way to identify problem font names for the issue mentioned in the last entry in the R-Mac-FAQ <http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/RMacOSX-FAQ.html#I-see-no-text-in-a-Quartz-plot_0021> it was pointed out that the FAQ says Arial is the "default font". Yet Arial is not listed as a quartzFont on my machine:
> names(quartzFonts()) [1] "serif" "sans" "mono" > quartzFonts()[ names(quartzFonts() ) ] $serif [1] "Times-Roman" "Times-Bold" "Times-Italic" "Times-BoldItalic" $sans [1] "Helvetica" "Helvetica-Bold" "Helvetica-Oblique" [4] "Helvetica-BoldOblique" $mono [1] "Courier" "Courier-Bold" "Courier-Oblique" "Courier-BoldOblique" Is there a difference between the "system font" and the quartzFonts? ---------- And I would suggest that the current (dead) link in the FAQ to the Apple information on key bindings: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/EventOverview/TextDefaultsBindings/chapter_9_section_2.html .... could be replaced with this update: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/recipes/xcode_help-keybindings_preferences/_index.html -- David Winsemius Alameda, CA, USA _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
