Jpeg and pixel

Hi Brian, Thank you for your fast answer. It looks a little bit better now. Nevertheless I see pixels. May it depend on the font used?
These _are_ bitmap formats: of course you will see pixels if you look closely enough! But beware that many of the artefacts people see are from their viewer and not from the file R produces.
In the praeambel I use
windowsFonts(Frutiger = windowsFont("Frutiger 45 Light"))
par(family="Frutiger")
And later, to create a wide table on the right of the plot
text(par("usr")[2] + 3.95, ... ,family="Frutiger")
Regards,
Thomas

Hi guys, I've got tthe following question: Why do my fonts look a bit grubby when I use the jpeg() function? I see the pixels of the font. The quality is set to 100%. If this is normal with jpeg(), which function would you propose me to use instead?
png(), as the help page suggested. The 'P' in JPEG stands for 'Photographic', and the format is not intended for text and line diagrams.
Kind regards, Thomas
