Dear R-help community: I have been searching for an elegant solution to the question posed in my subject. I would like to be able to use any of the R functions like text() or mtext() to display some text with mixed font families. For example, a label like "huge-class background load", where the word "huge" is in Courier and the rest is in the default family (or any other family for that matter). I will ultimately be saving to EPS files, so I know the correct families need to be included when I open the device. So far I have fiddled with plotmath to no avail. I also know that I can place the first and remaining words with separate calls to a text function and something like strwidth() for proper positioning, but I never quite seem to get that right. I suppose that the family needs to be taken into account to compute the string width, and that doesn't seem to happen. Is there an easier way that does the calculations automatically?
Any help is much appreciated. Regards, Marc -- Marc Chiarini CompSci PhD Candidate Tufts University Medford, MA 02155 http://www.cs.tufts.edu/~mchiar01
