Apologies: I didn't see that reponse.
cairographics cannot locate an italic version of the font -
switching to a font which has the desired traits will produce the
desired output, e.g.:
svg("test.svg", width=4,4,8)
par(family="Arial")
plot.new()
text(0.5,0.5,labels=expression(italic("This should be in italics")))
dev.off()
Thanks. I tried this with family="Arial", family="Times",
family="serif", family="sans", family="Verdana", and family="mono",
and they all come out as bold.
I guess if this doesn't happen on other systems, then is must be a
problem with my R or system setup. Unfortunately I don't have another
system to try this out on.
The italic versions of Arial, Time, and Verdana are all available,
according to Font Book.
Have you any suggestions as to how I could try and find out what is
going on here? Can I activate some sort of debugging or verbose mode
in Cairographics?
Cheers
Yan
