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(). Thanks in advance, Gerry ----------------------------------------------------------------- Gerry Brush, Ph.D. Department of Genetics Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research P.O.

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.

Would not be the best way to use latex+pdfscreen and to forget this powerpoint? I guess that micro$oft made a bad port of pdf (Adobe product) in powerpoint. One way is to convert your pdf to a micro$ft format using graphicconverter for example and to discover it works perfectly ;-) Le jeudi, 31 oct 2002, à 17:03 Europe/Berlin, Gerry Brush a écrit :

Sorry, I kind of jumped from dashed lines to hyphens in text. The encoding='AdobeSTD' solved the hyphen problem for me. But I just now did this little set of commands
pdf('tmp.pdf',encoding='AdobeStd')
plot(1:10,1:10)
lines(1:10,1:10,lty=2)
dev.off()
in R 1.6.0 on Solaris, and when I inserted tmp.pdf into PowerPoint X the dashed line was there, as was the text. Also looked ok when I used R 1.6.0 for Darwin/X. -Don
