Hi Paul,
first thank you for helping out.

Strangely enough I get the
"family 'ipa' not included in PostScript device"
if I run
text(10,10,"whatever",family="ipa")
while the "PostScriptCIDMetricInfo" error if I run
text(10,10,"whatever",family="InternationalPhoneticAlphabet"")

I get the same behaviour when I write directly to the postscript
device:

postscript(file="whatever.eps")
plot(10,10,type="n")
text(10,10,"whatever",family="InternationalPhoneticAlphabet")
or
text(10,10,"whatever",family="ipa")

I suspect the "PostScriptCIDMetricInfo" error depends on the fact the
the encodings/silipa.enc file contains all values from 33 to 255
(with a few undefines values). Can that be possible?

Thanks,
Giampiero
