[R--gR] Save as postScrips latest R version

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

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:

http://developer.r-project.org/blosxom.cgi/R-2-6-branch/2007/10/05

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 Professor Murdoch

Thank you very much for your reply,

I really did not know about the daily announcements.
Next time I will check them. I will install the
R-patched and let you know if it works.

Thanks again,

Camila

Read the posting guide and follow it, i.e.

a) do not cross-post.
b) read the mailing list archives and find that this has been resolved 
in R-patched
