[R] embedding fonts in eps files

[Simon Wood]

Do you ultimately need the eps files themselves with embedded fonts, or 
is that you need to include them in a document that that has all fonts 
embedded? 

If it's the latter then you may find:

useful. The trick seems to be to substitute the standard Fonts with their 
URW equivalents: the URW fonts are freely available and can therefor be 
embedded. It simplifies matters if you choose URW `families' when calling
`postscript()'.
