In the interest of full disclosure, I did not provide that particular
workaround.
It came via a thread on r-help back in January:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2009-January/185742.html
and was then moved to r-devel:
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2009-January/051891.html
The workaround was posted by Martin in the r-devel part of the thread,
which in turn was retrieved from the bug report here:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18002
See comments #8 and #10 in the above.
Thanks!

Yes, it is known: it is described with workarounds (thanks to Marc
Schwarz, AFAIR) on the ?pdf help page.

It was pointed out to me that scatter plots made on our rhel5
system (sessionInfo() below, have the curious
feature that when made with pdf() and viewed with evince show the
points as "q" not "o". Is this a known
problem with evince? It is pretty clearly not a problem with R,
since if I bring the pdf file back to my mac
and open in acrobat it looks normal. So this is a just-in-case-
someone-else-runs-into-this kind of post.
