'National': not my nation, and none is stated. Somewhere in Eastern
Europe ... Poland?
Short answer: you need to use a family which contains those glyphs
(try family='NimbusSan': the default 'Helvetica' does not) *and* a
viewer that uses fonts that do.
Longer answer: read ?pdf and ?postscript carefully, as they told you
this and more.
Your example works correctly with that family for me on Linux,
but not with OS X viewers. It does not with the default family.
For people on Unix I would suggest the cairo_pdf() device as a
possibly easier alternative since it usually embeds fonts. On
Windows and OS X you are at the mercy of what fonts cairo has access
to. That's all in the help, too.

Hello.
I'm trying to make some graphics with nationalized labels (pdf for use
in LaTeX document).
On console (displayed on screen) using all looks ok:
----------------------------------------\/
data<-rnorm(100)
hist(data,main='Rozkład gęstości punktów', xlab='Wartość na osi y',
ylab='Częstość występowania')
-------------------------------------------/\
But using:
-------------------------------------------\/
data<-rnorm(100)
pdf('plik.pdf',encoding="CP1250.enc")
hist(data,main='Rozkład gęstości punktów', xlab='Wartość na osi y',
ylab='Częstość występowania')
dev.off()
--------------------------------------------/\
It does not look fine ...
Actually it is just a binary file, and no viewer has been mentioned.
Without specifying encoding:
-------------------------------------------\/
pdf('plik-wo-enc.pdf')
hist(data,main='Rozkład gęstości punktów', xlab='Wartość na osi y',
ylab='Częstość występowania')
dev.off()
---------------------------------------------/\
Almost does not have national characters. (Almost, because "ó" letter appears)
Exemplary pdf file are here:

I have read "Non-Standard Fonts in PostScript and PDF Graphics" by
Paul Murrell and Brian Ripley in Rnews.
I have also tried option with
-------------------\/
Sys.setlocale(category="LC_CTYPE", locale="pl_PL.utf8")
-------------------/\
but even in admin (run R as admin) in Win7 I received warning:
-------------------\/
"In Sys.setlocale(category = "LC_CTYPE", locale = "pl_PL.utf8") :
Żądania raportów OS aby ustawić lokalizację na "pl_PL.utf8" nie mogą
zostać wykonane"
-------------------/\
(translated in short : OS report request to set locale to "pl_PL.utf8"
can not be done)
Does anyone knows how to obtain pdf documents with acceptable quality?
Thanks in advance,
Regards
