Hi All:
I have some basic questions about Cairo graphics engine. I'm trying to use the
Cairo package to produce PDF output, mainly because I perceive it to be easy to
use with a wide variety of fonts.
But right now, I'm stuck trying to figure out what fonts are available to be
used with Cairo, specifically the CairoPDF function. I've been able to
successfully produce some test PDFs with grid graphics and CairoPDF (and the
font "Georgia"), so my basic setup is working.
I've tried to experiment with the CairoFonts() function but get the message:
"the R Cairo package was not installed with fontconfig. Please consider
installing the cairo graphics engine (www.cairographics.org) with freetype and
fontconfig support"
I'm not quite sure how to interpret this. My version of Cairo comes from the
GTK+ 2.22 bundle from the GTK+ Project website. I'm running R 2.12.2 on
Windows 7.
Any feedback or direction toward informative resources is much appreciated.
Cheers,Al
