Full_Name: Vilmos Prokaj Version: 2.6.2 OS: windows Submission from: (NULL) (157.181.227.218) I dont know wether my problem is specific to R or not. Using the pdf and postscript device I realized that the spacing around some accented letter letter is not correct. The same problem does not occur with the eps device. For testing I have used the following simple code. str<-"-|ő|-|Ő|-|ű|-|Ű|-" pdf() plot(0:1,0:1,main=str,sub=str,xlab=str,ylab=str) text(0.5,0.5,str) dev.off() postscript() plot(0:1,0:1,main=str,sub=str,xlab=str,ylab=str) text(0.5,0.5,str) dev.off() Here str contains some hungarian umlaut. The result in the case of pdf device looks like as if the letters were crossing with a vertical lines. So my suspect is, that somethings is worng in the font metrics files. Vilmos Prokaj

And what is that is a reproducible form, in what locale?

What viewer are you using? Hint: Acrobat does not use the specified fonts unless embedded -- see ?pdf
