[R] R GUI dies using postcript() in Windows XP Pro

[Gavin Simpson]

Dear Andy, Duncan and Brian

Cheers for your replies

That font.main thing is something I didn't pick up on when I cropped my 
colleagues code down to a small example.

font.main works fine with pointsize = 8, *if* you set font.main to one 
of the values given in the entry for font in ?par. The code example I 
posted works if I set font.main to 3 (for italics) for example, which is 
what was produced with font.main = 16 on a windows() device.

And Brian has confirmed that postcript devices have only 5 fonts in R.

Not really a /feature/ though, I'd expect an error message telling me to 
not be so stupid next time... ;-)

Once again, thank you all for your replies.

Gav
