FYI, I now have a second confirmed Mac OS system (with R 3.4.1) where
the text is not rendered as italic.

Hi
Do you have the 'fonts-texgyre' (Debian) package installed?
If not, does installing that help?

Hi all,
I have the following problem: Since R 3.4.0, italic fonts rendered on
Cairo devices appear pixelated. Here's a minimal example:
cairo_pdf('test.pdf')
plot(1:10, ylab=expression(italic(test)))
dev.off()
The same problem occurs with bolditalic, but not bold. I am using
Debian Stretch. Several friends tried the same on their machines,
another Debian machine has the same problem. On MacOSX the output was
not pixelated, but it wasn't italic either. Ubuntu 16.04.2 xenial
works fine. My impression is that R somehow can't find the proper
font to use and falls back to something weird. Ideas?
Note that I'm not subscribed to the list, so please CC me in replies.
Cheers, Ilia
