Hi folks, Running R in a Windows machine: > sessionInfo() R version 3.4.2 (2017-09-28) Platform: x86_64-w64-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) Running under: Windows 8.1 x64 (build 9600) Matrix products: default locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=Portuguese_Brazil.1252 LC_CTYPE=Portuguese_Brazil.1252 [3] LC_MONETARY=Portuguese_Brazil.1252 LC_NUMERIC=C [5] LC_TIME=Portuguese_Brazil.1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] compiler_3.4.2 nlme_3.1-131 grid_3.4.2 lattice_0.20-35 [5] fortunes_1.5-4 Where Rdevega was edited as folows: # The system-wide copy is in rwxxxx/etc. # A user copy can be installed in `R_USER'. # Format is # [TT] face:style # where style is plain, bold, italic or bold&italic. # If 'TT' is present, only TrueType/OpenType fonts are searched. # Remarks: # (a) Windows graphics engine can only rotate TrueType fonts; # (b) Only the first 32 fonts will be used. <Rdevga> TT Verdana : plain TT Verdana : bold TT Verdana : italic TT Verdana : bold&italic # Please, don't change the following definition. The plot math engine # assumes that font5 contains greek letters and math symbols TT Symbol: plain TT Times New Roman : plain TT Times New Roman : bold TT Times New Roman : italic TT Times New Roman : bold&italic TT Courier New: plain TT Courier New: bold TT Courier New: italic TT Courier New: bold&italic TT Century Gothic : plain TT Century Gothic : bold TT Century Gothic : italic TT Century Gothic : bold&italic TT Matisse ITC: plain TT Wingdings: plain </Rdevga> When I check the font family: > windowsFonts()$sans [1] "TT Arial" I find unexpected that the family name is still "TT Arial" although the font when ploting or using text() for annotation in graphics employs the font selected in the Rdevga file (Verdana in this case). I searched all documentation and the Net and the answer to this puzzle eluded me, so if not a bug, I find this very unexpected! TIA -- Cesar Rabak
