[R] in other words Re: How to use fixed-width fonts such as courier in R
the problem is how to use both courier bold font for axis and arial
bold font for labelling. If I use familiy = "courier" in postscript,
everything will become courier fonts ..
I noticed that in postscirpt help page, we can customize a family such as
"family = c("CM_regular_10.afm","CM_boldx_10.afm", "cmti10.afm",
"cmbxti10.afm", "CM_symbol_10.afm";
However, I tried many times, and just don't know the symbol used in R for
courier bold or arial bold, etc.

[R] How to use fixed-width fonts such as courier in R
Hi, I am trying to use Arial bold for labelling (font.lab =2), and use the fixed-width Courier bold for axis. I will export the plot to .ps format. I have been trying to use font.axis = 11, but that doesn't work when I exported the plot to a .ps file. I have been trying hard to read the help page of "postscript" these few days, but didn't get the courier font yet. Can you please help me figure out how I should use "postscript"? Thanks!
