unicode&pdf font problem
Hi! Sorry for the missing specs, here they are:
version
_ platform i386-pc-mingw32 arch i386 os mingw32 system i386, mingw32 status major 2 minor 12.1 year 2010 month 12 day 16 svn rev 53855 language R version.string R version 2.12.1 (2010-12-16) OS: Windows 7 (English version, 32 bit) Note that \U0171 != ?. See http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/171/index.htm Anyway, I have no problem with ű (~u") and other special Hungarian characters in my R-Gui. It is correctly displayed in the console, in plots, etc. The problem is with the pdf conversion. The same holds for my Ubuntu Hardy Heron system*, with exactly the same error messages as reported in an earlier thread http://www.mail-archive.com/r-help at r-project.org/msg89792.html As far as I know, Hershey fonts do not contain \U0171. Regards, Denes * The specs of Ubuntu:

Dear List,
I would like to print a plot into pdf. The problem is that the
character
\U0171 is replaced by a simple 'u' (i.e. without accents) in the pdf
file.
Example:
# this works fine
plot(1,type="n")
text(1,1,"print \U0171")
# this fails
pdf("trial.pdf")
plot(1,type="n")
text(1,1,"print \U0171")
dev.off()
Have you tried:
pdf("trial.pdf")
plot(1,type="n")
text(1,1,"print ?")
dev.off()
Your default screen fonts may not be the same as your default pdf
fonts. A lot depends on system specifics, none of which have you
provided.
I found an earlier post at http://www.mail-archive.com/r-help at r-project.org/msg65541.html, but it is too hard to understand at my R-level. Any help is appreciated.
