Dear Paul, Thanks for the helpful reply. Indeed:
> fc-match Times NimbusRoman-Regular.otf: "Nimbus Roman" "Regular" > fc-match Helvetica NimbusSans-Regular.otf: "Nimbus Sans" "Regular" are OpenType fonts. Also: X11(type="Xlib", family="mono") plot(1) works. So does X11(family="Courier New") # type="cairo" by default plot(1) or X11(family="Inconsolata") plot(1) Can I not override what is specified under X11Fonts() with? Because this does not work: X11Fonts(mono="-*-inconsolata-%s-%s-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*") X11(family="mono") plot(1) Best, Wolfgang >-----Original Message----- >From: Paul Murrell [mailto:p...@stat.auckland.ac.nz] >Sent: Wednesday, 20 January, 2021 0:37 >To: Viechtbauer, Wolfgang (SP); r-help@r-project.org >Subject: Re: [R] Monospaced font not shown correctly (Xubuntu 20.04) > >Hi > >The switch to XUbunutu 20.04 may mean a switch to Pango > 1.44 (it does >on Ubuntu 20.04), which means loss of support for Type 1 fonts (on >Cairo-based graphics devices). > >The Courier fonts (the default for "mono" on Cairo-based devices) that >you found are all Type 1 (.pfb) fonts. > >What does this give you (the matches for the default "sans" and "serif" >on Cairo-based devices) ... ? > >fc-match Times >fc-match Helvetica > >If those are .ttf or .otf fonts then that would explain why "sans" and >"serif" still work. > >A workaround is to specify the family name for a non-Type-1 monospaced >font, e.g., "Courier New" (?), or install a non-Type-1 Courier >replacement (and specify that). > >Hope that helps. > >Paul > >On 20/01/21 3:48 am, Viechtbauer, Wolfgang (SP) wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> On my system (Xubuntu 20.04), using par(family="mono") is not rendered >> correctly.
