Saving Chinese text in Quartz

Which version of R is this? -- there are two completely different quartz() 
devices.   (Please remember to supply the 'at a minimum' information the 
posting guide asked for.)  You haven't even told us your OS, but we can 
deduce that this is some version of Mac OS X.

You would do better to ask on the R-sig-MAC list with a reproducible 
example.  But first try opening the file in another reader (like the 
native Mac OS X one), as I suspect the issue is that the fonts used by 
Quartz are not embedded and so not known to Acrobat (in which case this is 
not an R issue at all).

You should be able to use R's cross-platform pdf() device, but you may 
need to specify a suitable font family for (traditional, presumably in 
Taiwan) Chinese.  See the R News article (2006/2).

I encountered a problem that I don't know where to or how to solve this.

I can put Chinese text to a Quartz window. There is no problem to show
the correct Chinese text string.

However, when this Quartz window is saved, and open by Acrobat or
Acrobat Reader, the Chinese text will become ........

In order to show/preserve my Chinese text in Quartz window, do I have to
set up some parameters?

Or is this a bug?

Any help is very highly appreciated.
