Dear friends, I am sorry, I again rise that boring question about font embedding in EPS figure.
It gives us an opportunity to point you to the solution included in R 2.4.0.
I found some discussions on this topic but there were no strait solution. The publisher (AIP) demands submission of separate EPS file for each figure with all fonts embedded in it (even the standard 14 Adobe fonts). As I understand the R does not do this embedding. It inserts only comments what font resources are needed.
Yes, that's the EPS standard.
Then I should use some other software to do this task. Is there a solution for problem within open source environment (without using of proprietary software)? My system is Debian GNU/Linux (testing).
ghostscript: see the R-News 6/2 article for an R wrapper function embedFonts() to help you with this.
The second picture format that AIP journals accept is TIFF, but R has no tiff device to produce that pictures. Does someone know a strait way to convert the EPS file into the high resolution high quality TIFF figure?
ghostscript, ImageMagick.
