A minimal R source code file producing this is: data=c(1,2) pdf(file="error.pdf") barplot(data) legend(1.5,c(expression(italic("C.sativa"),italic("B.rapa"))),horiz=TRUE) dev.off()
The problem is that the two italicised strings are not aligned in the pdf output, with the string on the left being lower than the string on the right by size of about two dots. Removing the calls to expression and italic produces correct alignment, but italic is required in the final figure.
