How would I know? If you doubt this, try it with a standard font and compare. Note what I said about artefacts: something other than R is involved when you print. This is the sort of thing which happens if bitmap images are not printed at their native resolution.
I saw that R can write in SVG format, using the RSVGTipsDevice library. I think SVG is the closest format to losslessness when printing. Of course, my ecological motivation would ban all formats that make printing easy, to save the environment by saving a few trees :-) Alberto Monteiro
