Controlling R fonts through LaTeX
Perhaps you can use ps.options(family = "...") to set the font family globally. If you really want to control R fonts through LaTeX, you can try the tikzDevice package (optionally with knitr) following the instructions in https://github.com/yihui/knitr-examples/blob/master/059-tikz.Rnw This allows you to generate R plots with font style consistent with your main document. Two other examples: https://github.com/downloads/yihui/knitr/knitr-manual.pdf and https://github.com/downloads/yihui/knitr/knitr-graphics.pdf Regards, Yihui -- Yihui Xie <xieyihui at gmail.com> Phone: 515-294-2465 Web: http://yihui.name Department of Statistics, Iowa State University 2215 Snedecor Hall, Ames, IA

Dear help list Does anybody know if it is possible to somehow tell R to let LaTeX handle the fonts for postscript plots produced by R? It is for a thesis and I have MANY figures. These are created by R scripts dynamically as the document is compiled, using the Make system. I see that I can `manually' specify the font family each time I call the postscript device, but I am looking for a better way. I would like to do it in a way that allows me to specify the font only once, and the same font will then be used throughout. There is too much text to use PSFrag. Thanks for your help! Karen
