Hi
The following code uses 'gridSVG' to export the plot to SVG (after using
'gridGraphics' to convert the plot to using 'grid'), which allows you to
specify a "font stack" for the exported SVG. In this example, I am
adding "SimHei" to the "serif" font stack. I attach a screen shot of
what the result looks like for me in Firefox on Windows (because I am
not sure what it should look like). The idea here is really just to
pass the effort of deciding which font to use on to a web browser.
library(gridSVG)
library(gridGraphics)
fonts <- getSVGFonts()
fonts$serif <- c(fonts$serif, "SimHei")
setSVGFonts(fonts)
plot(1:10, type = "n", xlab = "Hello \u4F60\u597D", family="serif")
grid.echo()
grid.export("test-1.svg", xmldecl='')
Does that help at all?

Thank you very much.
The code solve my concerns about fonts. gridGraphics make me to draw my
plot in base graphics that I used to. I can convert SVG to any other
format using Inkscape.

Hi there,
I am a Chinese R user. I hope to plot the following code with Chinese in
one font family, such as SimHei, but English in another font family,
such as Times New Roman.
plot(1:10, type = "n", xlab = "Hello \u4F60\u597D", family = "serif")
In my case, the system default font is "SimSun", so the above code
fallback "\u4F60\u597D", which is not in the font Times, to SimSun.
If I use:
plot(1:10, type = "n", xlab = "Hello \u4F60\u597D", family = "SimHei")
Then The "Hello" will in "SimHei" family, it's not as beautiful as Times.
Is it possible to specify the fallback font family in R? Any hints or
suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Jinsong
