plot(c(1:10))

when put into a pdf file via pdf() device, will display incorrect
symbols in linux pdf viewers (evince, okular). The circles (o) become
q, literally the letter q, and lose colors.

This issue is already in the Notes section of ?pdf. It remains to be seen if the OP's problem was this exact one, since they didn't specify an example.

From ?pdf,

     On some systems the default plotting character ‘pch = 1’ is
     displayed in some PDF viewers incorrectly as a ‘"q"’ character.
     (These seem to be viewers based on the ‘poppler’ PDF rendering
     library). This may be due to incorrect or incomplete mapping of
     font names to those used by the system.  Adding the following
     lines to ‘~/.fonts.conf’ or ‘/etc/fonts/local.conf’ may circumvent
     this problem.
