Hi I have created an R branch that contains a potential fix ... https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-symfam/ This allows, for example, ... cairo_pdf(symbolfamily="OpenSymbol") ... to specify that the OpenSymbol family should be used as the "symbol" font (e.g., for "plotmath") in R. This

Thanks, Paul. I've created a bug report to keep track of this (https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17748), and taken the liberty of adding you to CC. We'll need to cherry-pick the fix for R 3.6.3 in Fedora 31. Iñaki On Sun, 29 Mar 2020 at 21:15, Paul Murrell wrote: > > Hi > > Tha

[Rd] is.vector could handle AsIs class better

2020-03-29 Thread Jan Gorecki
Dear R-devel, AsIs class seems to be well handled by `typeof` and `mode` function. Those two functions are being referred when explaining `is.vector` behaviour in manual. Yet `is.vector` does not seem to be handling AsIs class the same way. is.vector(1L) #[1] TRUE is.vector(I(1L)) #[1] FALSE Is

Simon, Java is still one of the most popular languages out there, in particular in large organizations. See e.g. https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ . However, there has been a lot of confusion because of Oracle's licencing change in 2019. But the good news is, there are more alternatives than ever
