I'm guessing this is a FAQ but I can't find it and that it is probably
not exclusive R related but relevant so I thought I'd ask:
When I view the PDF output from Sweave (e.g. Example 1 from the author's
web site at [1]) on a Linux system using the standard PDF viewer [2],
the circles for the outliers in the plot [boxplot(Ozone ~ Month, data =
airquality)] show up as the letter 'q'.
I have no problems with the PostScript version of the file
(example-1.ps) and I have no problems with the PDF file on a Windows
machine using the Acrobat reader. Also, odfWeave is consistent on all
systems.
I need to generate reports from R that work (=look the same) across
platforms: does anybody have a suggestion for a workaround?
Regards
Allan
