Hi

R-2.8.1,   Suse 11.1

I'm having problems with pdf(). In the following
transcript, file 'f.pdf' does not use the expected symbols for the plot.
It uses a 'q' letter instead of the open circle I get when
viewing the graphics window.

I also get the same under  r47678.

Does anyone else get this?
