Hi Paul,
thanks for your suggestion. No, I did not have that package installed,
but installing it didn't change anything, unfortunately.
Cheers, Ilia

Hi
Do you have the 'fonts-texgyre' (Debian) package installed?
If not, does installing that help?

Hi all,
I have the following problem: Since R 3.4.0, italic fonts rendered on
Cairo devices appear pixelated. Here's a minimal example:
cairo_pdf('test.pdf')
plot(1:10, ylab=expression(italic(test)))
dev.off()
The same problem occurs with bolditalic, but not bold. I am using
Debian Stretch. Several friends tried the same on their machines,
another Debian machine has the same problem. On MacOSX the output was
not pixelated, but it wasn't italic either. Ubuntu 16.04.2 xenial
works fine. My impression is that R somehow can't find the proper
font to use and falls back to something weird. Ideas?
Note that I'm not subscribed to the list, so please CC me in replies.
Cheers, Ilia

Ha. I say let them try -- even vi+perl couldn't match the power of an
editor which is, after all, its own OS. ;-)
