[R] help with Cairo

[Ivan Calandra]

  Dear users,

As an alternative to RSvgDevice::devSVG, I have tried using Cairo and 
cairoDevice.

When opening the svg file from Cairo::CairoSVG() as well as from 
cairoDevice::Cairo_svg() in Illustrator, I got a warning message (which 
is damn hard to translate since I don't understand it), something like: 
"clipping (?) will be lost at reexportation to format 'Tiny'".
I then have a huge black square and some huge black numbers that I can 
remove. But if I do so, the axes labels are gone (I guess these huge 
numbers are the labels...).

After having copied all necessary dll in cairoDevice\libs folder (I 
hope) to make it to load, I don't know what to do.

Any ideas of what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance!
Ivan
