[R] CM Fonts in PDF output

[Markus Jochmann]

Thanks Baptiste for your hint, I will try this at some point.

I solved the issue thanks to Brian Ripley. I followed the instructions by
Paul Murrell (http://www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~paul/R/CM/CMR.html) but not
exactly enough. Instead of downloading the font files from
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/cm-lgc.html I looked
for them on my harddrive which led me to those that come with texlive from
Ubuntu. These do not contain the minus sign, but the ones on CTAN do.

Markus.
