Dear R Gurus,
I have a fairly simple problem, but I haven't been able to find the
answer on 'the google' or in the r-help archives.
I am generating plots on both Windows and OS X where I need to
guarantee that the font used is Arial. In my plot command I specify
'fontfamily="Arial"'. The problem is that on Windows I'm getting the
following warning: Warning message: In grid.Call.graphics("L_text",
as.graphicsAnnot(x$label), x$x, : Font family not found in Windows
font database
Here is my plot call. I have not included supporting code, as I don't
believe it's necessary:
graph<-barchart(3.7,xlim=c(0,10),main="",xlab="", aspect=.1,
col=rgb(21,101,112,maxColorValue=255),scales=list(x=list(tick.number=10,tck=c(1,0),fontfamily="Arial",fontsize=10)),
panel=scorePnl,par.settings=theme.novpadding,lowCut=pgrLowCut,highCut=pgrHighCut)
In my research I've found that the default for Windows is Arial
anyway, but I should be able to specify the font without a warning. I
further checked the available fonts in the windows font database by
using 'windowsFonts()' and found an entry for 'TT Arial', however,
specifying 'TT Arial' produces the same error.
Any help is appreciated.
If you want to be sure of getting Arial, you could specify an explicit
Windows Font mapping, for example, ...
windowsFonts(Arial=windowsFont("TT Arial"))
barchart(1, scales=list(x=list(fontfamily="Arial")))
