The same happens if you use the "new" way to use CM fonts:
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2006-2.pdf
Theoretically, you could do:
CM <- Type1Font("CM",
c(paste("cm-lgc/fonts/afm/public/cm-lgc/",
c("fcmr8a.afm", "fcmb8a.afm",
"fcmri8a.afm", "fcmbi8a.afm"),
sep=""),
"cmsyase/cmsyase.afm"))
However, since cmsyase is not available in Ubuntu, you need to do:
CM <- Type1Font("CM",
c(paste("cm-lgc/fonts/afm/public/cm-lgc/",
c("fcmr8a.afm", "fcmb8a.afm",
"fcmri8a.afm", "fcmbi8a.afm"),
sep=""))
which is expected to give bad results for symbols. But this doesn't even
work. If you try to open the resulting postscript file, ghostview eats
1GB in less than 2 seconds. Now, if you use also the embedFonts()
function in R:
> embedFonts("cm.pdf",
outfile="cmembed.pdf",
fontpaths=
c("cm-lgc/fonts/type1/public/cm-lgc",
"cmsyase"))
then, R eats 1GB in less that 2 seconds. I guess it is calling
ghostscript internally.
I haven't found anyone that has been able to get CM fonts working in R
in Ubuntu.
