[R--gR] Daily announcements of changes (was: Save as postScrips latest R version)

It seems people are unaware of the daily
announcements of R changes.  If 
a change is significant enough to warrant mention in
the NEWS file, it 
will be announced on one of the lists described
here:

http://developer.r-project.org/RSSfeeds.html

These are available as RSS feeds, as the URL
suggests.

For changes to R that would show up in R-patched,
you would look at one 
of the R-2-6-branch listings.

For example, the bug report below is about a bug
that was fixed around 
October 5, as could be seen here:

Once a fix is announced on that page, it should be
available in 
R-patched, which can be downloaded from CRAN.  In
this case it's a 
Windows bug, so you would get R-patched from

cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rpatched.html

(There may be occasional delays in availability, but
usually if the 
announcements are working, the nightly builds are
working.)

Hi,

I was using the 2.4.1 R version and I had no

problem

saving my plots as postScript. Now that I have
installed the latest version 2.6.0 I can not save

any

plot as postScript. When I try the following

message

appears:

Erro: Invalid font type
Al?m disso: Warning messages:
1: font family not found in PostScript font

database 

2: font family not found in PostScript font

database 

What should I do?

Thank you in advance,

Camila
