Thanks,
The following piece of code demonstrates a problem I still have.
pdf(file=fonttest.pdf,fonts=c(Helvetica))
plot(1:10,main=,xlab=)
par(family=Helvetica,font=1)
title(main=Helvetica)
par(family=Helvetica,font=2)
title(sub=Helvetica-Bold)
par(family=Helvetica,font=3)
title(xlab=Helvetica-Oblique)
dev.off()
The font= parameter seems not to be respected.
I do not get bold or italics.
What am I doing wrong or not understand here?
My original problem was that I had not understood that the
fonts parameter is absolutely necessary when opening the device
when one wants to use par(family= ).
BTW, this is R 2.3.1 on Windows XP.

This is dynamic: for the current value
