Hi
R-2.8.1, Suse 11.1
I'm having problems with pdf(). In the following
transcript, file 'f.pdf' does not use the expected symbols for the plot.
It uses a 'q' letter instead of the open circle I get when
viewing the graphics window.
I also get the same under r47678.
Does anyone else get this?
Yes, if you use a broken PDF viewer (you have not told us yours). From
?pdf
useDingbats: logical. Should small circles be rendered _via_ the
Dingbats font? Defaults to true, which produces smaller and
better output - this is provided for those who insist on
using broken PDF viewers.
I get the problem in evince but not acroread in F10.
