Hi there,
According to ?par, 'font' is an integer which specifies which font to
use for text, that 1 corresponds to plain text (the default), 2 to bold
face, 3 to italic and 4 to bold italic.
When I test Chinese character in pdf(), I found that 1 to bold face, 2
to italic, 3 to bold italic, 4 to symbol. and I don't find how to set
plain text. In the following code, the font to use for Latin text is
correct.
I also tested postscript(), and it did as what was expected.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jinsong
### the code to reproduce my question ###
pdf("test_0.pdf", fonts = c("GB1"))
plot(1:10)
text(5,4, "\u4F60\u597D", family="GB1", font = 0) ## bold
text(5,5, "is 'hello' in Chinese", font = 0) ## normal
dev.off()
pdf("test_1.pdf", fonts = c("GB1"))
plot(1:10)
text(5,4, "\u4F60\u597D", family="GB1", font = 1) ## bold
text(5,5, "is 'hello' in Chinese", font = 1) # normal
dev.off()
pdf("test_2.pdf", fonts = c("GB1"))
plot(1:10)
text(5,4, "\u4F60\u597D", family="GB1", font = 2) ## italic
text(5,5, "is 'hello' in Chinese", font = 2) # bold
dev.off()
pdf("test_3.pdf", fonts = c("GB1"))
plot(1:10)
text(5,4, "\u4F60\u597D", family="GB1", font = 3) ## bold italic
text(5,5, "is 'hello' in Chinese", font = 3) # italic
dev.off()
pdf("test_4.pdf", fonts = c("GB1"))
plot(1:10)
text(5,4, "\u4F60\u597D", family="GB1", font = 4) ## symbol
text(5,5, "is 'hello' in Chinese", font = 4) # bold italic
dev.off()
