Hi all,

I recently discovered how great win.metafile is for getting high resolution graphics into word.

Having problems with specifying families though...

#pdf works fine
pdf("test.pdf",width=14,height=9)
par(family="Helvetica")
plot(1:10)
text(4,4,"trial")
dev.off()
windows 
      2 

#metafile doesnt like helvetica family
win.metafile("test.wmf",width=14,height=9)
par(family="Helvetica")
plot(1:10)
There were 12 warnings (use warnings() to see them)
text(4,4,"trial")
Warning message:
In text.default(4, 4, "trial") :
  Font family not found in Windows font database
dev.off()
windows 
      2 

Trawled through messages on here and read Rdegva but couldnt find the answer. Are there any user friendly windows user guides about all this?

R 2.8.1
Windows XP 2003

Cheers, Si.
