When is PDF not PDF?
Try including encoding='AdobeStd' in your pdf() call. When I do that with R >= 1.5.1 on Solaris I get both the hyphens and Helvetica displayed when I import the pdf into PowerPoint (the Office X version). -Don I've had the missing hyphens problem with the Splus postscript device also.

Hi, I'm creating PDF files in R to insert into a PowerPoint presentation on my Mac, OS X 1.5, shortly to be OS X 2. At first I was using R 1.5.0 on Solaris but found that the font, Helvetica, failed to display when the file was inserted into PowerPoint. I had success when I created the PDF file in R 1.6.0 for MacOS (Mac OS X, not Darwin/X), but then when I added a dashed line to the graph, it failed to appear in PowerPoint. I can live for the moment without the dashed line, but I wonder if I've misunderstood something about the use of pdf(), or maybe plot() or lines().
