[R-SIG-Mac]When is PDF not PDF?

[Don MacQueen]

Try including
   encoding='AdobeStd'
in your pdf() call.

When I do that with R >= 1.5.1 on Solaris I get both the hyphens and 
Helvetica displayed when I import the pdf into PowerPoint (the Office 
X version).

I've had the missing hyphens problem with the Splus postscript device also.
