Thank you for your help.
I've read all the documentation I can find and I still can't get this to
work.
postscriptFonts()
in my console produces a list of fonts already mapped yes?
one of which is:
$ComputerModernItalic
$family
[1] "ComputerModernItalic"
$metrics
[1] "CM_regular_10.afm" "CM_boldx_10.afm" "cmti10.afm"
"cmbxti10.afm" "CM_symbol_10.afm"
$encoding
[1] "TeXtext.enc"
attr(,"class")
[1] "Type1Font"
So modifying the code of Paul's website:
pdf("destructiontest.pdf")
par(family="ComputerModernItalic")
demo(plotmath)
dev.off()
Should give me what I want. Instead I get a file which can't be opened and
25 warnings which all look like this:
25: In text.default(2 * c - 0.5, -r, title) :
font family not found in PostScript font database
I've tried the "Test full Adobe Symbol font" code off Paul's website with
the fonts loaded into my working dir as described. I get 35 warnings of the
type:
1: In grid.Call.graphics("L_text", as.graphicsAnnot(x$label), ... :
font width unknown for character 0x7f
and a pdf with dots in place of every character.
I can open the example pdf on Paul's website and see the correct CM font so
my viewer must be working.
Any other ideas would be welcome.
