PLoS, Arial, R & linux

Hello

While there is a section ("Enable the use of Arial in R") in the
Guidelines (URL [2]), the instructions assume the presence of
Arial ".ttf" files, not usually the case with Linux.

If you have a Windows installation, then you have the appropriate
license to use Arial, on Windows or on Linux. From what I remember, in
this case it could be relatively easy to copy the font files on the
Linux partition and install them. With some distributions it is
possible to install MS fonts from a third-party source (on Debian
ttf-mscorefonts-installer, on Gentoo some package also called
corefonts).
