PNG Problem on Windows 98

Dear all,


with the new version of R it is normally no problem to produce very fast
graphics in the png format.

In the office i want to work with R - Windows 98 is used.
There are french versions and english versions of Windows 98 second edition.

The png graphics are only on one computer correct.
On the other computers - the x-axis labels, the legend text and the "mtext"
(on the bottom) is missing. 
Attached are simple example files one in jpg (which is ok) and one in png
format.

produced with:

png("test3.png");
plot(1:100);
mtext(c("aaa","bbb"),c(1,2),c(4,1));
legend(50,50,"llll");
dev.off()

for jpeg with jpeg(......)


Any idea where the difference in the installation could be, like missing
files ore necesarry updates for the windows system? 

Thank you very much in advance for any help.      


Johannes

I don't have access to a Win98 machine to test any more.  However, I
notice that I've been doing builds with an out of date version of the
PNG library (version 1.2.0).  I've just downloaded 1.2.5, and am
building r-devel with it.

Could you download r-devel from CRAN tomorrow, and see if this bug is
fixed?  (I'll upload it today, but it won't be visible until
tomorrow.)

You should look in

 <http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rdevel.html>

to find the download.  Make sure it is dated Feb 18 or later.
