graphics device problems

I'm using R 1.8.0 under windows XP. I can't get certain of the graphics devices set up. For example, when I copy this line directly from the "postscript" help screen, I get the error messages that follow it:
postscript("foo.ps")
Error in PS(file, old$paper, old$family, old$encoding, old$bg, old$fg, :
unable to start device PostScript
In addition: Warning message:
cannot read afm file hvo_____.afm
I have a similar problem with the pdf device (which I think is my preferred device for my present job):
pdf("myfile.pdf")
Error in PDF(file, old$family, old$encoding, old$bg, old$fg, width, height, :
unable to start device pdf
In addition: Warning message:
cannot read afm file hvo_____.afm
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Looks like your installation is broken. Does the file ...\rw1080\afm\hvo_____.afm exist? If yes, do you have read permissions? You might want to re-install R. Also, it's a good idea to upgrade to R-1.8.1, because R-1.8.0 is a bit buggy on Windows ... Uwe Ligges
