Hi,
I'd like to use Arial for the font in the PDF's and TIFF's I produce
in R on my Mac (running 10.5.5). I've found the following archived
help file on how to do it in Linux (http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e4/help/08/08/19847.html
) but don't understand how to do this on my system. Are *.afm files
freely available and do they come with the *.enc file that Type1Font()
requires? if so where? Or do I convert some files I already have to
*.afm? I've searched around for useful info without much luck.
And once I have the *.afm's & an *.enc am I correct in assuming that I
put them in the library/grDevices/afm directory and run the following
in R:
Arial <- Typ1Font("Arial", c("4-5 afm files here"), encoding = "enc
file here")
pdf(..., family="Arial")
Thanks for your help,
