I can generate PDF documents and they look good on acrobat reader. However, when I import the PDFs in Pagemaker 7.0 (on windows2K), I get an error message saying it does not recognize the Helvetica font. I got this from ?pdf: family the font family to be used, one of "AvantGarde", "Bookman", "Courier", "Helvetica", "Helvetica-Narrow", "NewCenturySchoolbook", "Palatino" or "Times". Note the other specifications allowed for postscript are not available. There in no mention of Arial. Is there a way to force R to use the Arial family?
