Dear Mac and R users,
I've tried several times without much success to replace the default
font in the graphs produced in R. Ideally, I would use the Myriad Pro
font that lives in the font manager (but if there are restrictions,
any other example would do).
I followed all the help pages in ?Devices, ?quartzFonts, ?
postscriptFonts, ?Cairo, ?pdf ... including what seems to be a
slightly out-of-date tutorial on Paul Murrell's webpage and a few
inconclusive or broken examples in the archives. I'd like to ask if
Mac users could help me figure out a working example for the following
task,
- I want a pdf output (whether Cairo, pdf, quartz, postscript + post-
precessing)
- I use some symbols (integral, greek letters, say) : do they need to
be from a specific font?
- labels, titles, numbers should all be of the same font family
- I use both grid (ggplot2 and lattice) and base graphics
so the example would be,
library(ggplot2)
pdf( family = "Myriad Pro")
print( qplot(1,1) + xlab(expression(integral(alpha,beta, infinity))))
dev.off()
Many thanks for any advice,
baptiste
