Dear Colleagues:
I need to make a graphic that uses the Nimbus rather than Helvetica font
family so that the font can be embedded in the encapsulated postscript
file. This is to satisfy a requirement from a journal for electronic
submission of figures. I do the following:
postscript('lowess.eps', onefile=FALSE, pointsize=18, horizontal=FALSE,
family='NimbusSan')
spar(mfrow=c(3,2))
. . .
dev.off()
At this point lowess.eps looks fine. When I run:
embedFonts('lowess.eps') or
embedFonts('lowess.eps', options='-sPAPERSIZE=letter')
the figures are wider and the right panel of the 3x2 matrix of plots
expands past the paper edge. Advice welcomed.
Thanks
Frank
