[R] pdf device --- axes labels text disappeared?

[Prof Brian Ripley]

No problems under R 2.0.0 or 1.9.1 on that platform.

Are you *sure* this is a bug in the PDF and not in your pdf reader?
Please read the PDF source file to find out.  Mine has lines like

/F2 1 Tf 12.00 0.00 -0.00 12.00 68.40 47.52 Tm (0) Tj
/F2 1 Tf 12.00 0.00 -0.00 12.00 144.39 47.52 Tm (10) Tj
/F2 1 Tf 12.00 0.00 -0.00 12.00 223.73 47.52 Tm (20) Tj
/F2 1 Tf 12.00 0.00 -0.00 12.00 303.06 47.52 Tm (30) Tj
/F2 1 Tf 12.00 0.00 -0.00 12.00 382.39 47.52 Tm (40) Tj
