I have no clue how Rstudio saves plots, but when I was writing directly to the pdf plot device I had similar problems. Setting useDingbats = TRUE made everything work well.
I think it is more prudent - and less clicking here and there - to save plots from within the script. I imagine this works as expected: pdf(useDingbats = TRUE) plot(0, xlab = "Percent (‰)", ylab = "Another Percent (‰)”) dev.off() Best, Ulrik Duncan Murdoch <murdoch.dun...@gmail.com> schrieb am So., 6.
