PostScript bugs in R-0.63.1

I don't know the details of R's PS implementation; however, if it is
using definefont attempting to register more than one key for the Symbol
font then that would be consistent with your results. Ghostscript and
ghostview should both be able to handle Level-2; I'm not sure why
ghostscript under xdvi should not be able to (unless xdvi somehow
inhibits it). Apart from that, the observed behaviour is compatible with
HPLJ and AppleLW being Level-2, while the SPARCprinter is Level-1.

I have similar problems with R 0-63.1 and LaTeX even without xdvi: after
compiling my LaTeX-document with latex and dvips I can't view it with
ghostview 1.5 anymore due to some error messages. Printing on a Laserjet
4MP works.
