Dear Ivo,

although I do not want to consider myself as an R wizard, but rather a
helpful soul and because you have provided R-code suited for direct
execution as it should be :-), here is my answer:

in both devices the numbers are printed below the axes. This is on:

platform i386-pc-mingw32
arch     i386           
os       mingw32        
system   i386, mingw32  
status                  
major    2              
minor    0.0            
year     2004           
month    10             
day      04             
language R              


HTH,
Bernhard

ps: Could the problem be related to your pdf encodings?
