I'm having problems printing a PDF via LaTeX that was created in R
for OS X (latest versions). The package that created the files was
akima; that's probably irrelevant. I can't print the PDFs from
Preview when they are in a LaTeX generated PDF, although I can print
them in their original form. The files are temporarily at
http://public.me.com/dairey
in the bad_pdf directory. I'm printing to an HP Laserjet (1320). The
PS error is complaining about ArialMT as far as I can tell. But when
I read help for quartz(), the top of the help file says,
family
this is the family name of the font that will be used by the device.
Default "Helvetica".
and the bottom of the help file says,
The default font family is Arial.
So which is it? And why when I use quartz.options(family="Arial",
reset=TRUE), do quartz() devices not respect my command? All
resulting graphs still look like Helvetica. Could this be the
problem with printing PDFs? Why is the GUI preferences for changing
the font there but one cannot alter the font?
I wrote the above earlier. Turns out, when I save a PDF from the
quartz device, and include it in a latex document, I get a memory full
error associated with definefont postscript command. If I make the PDF
using the pdf() function, I get no error from printing the figures in
latex. So I think there is some kind of bug/difference between saving
a PDF from the quartz() device and creating a PDF using pdf(). Also, I
note that the figures are not quite rendered exactly the same.
