This is all in the help page for pdf ... including a request not to falsely blame R and two workarounds for the broken viewers.

Hi,

Am using R 2.13.1 on Linux (Fedora). Is anybody else having problems with
dev.copy2pdf xyplot output with the pch=1 (open circle) symbol? The
symbols come out as "q" in the PDF.  dev.copy2eps produces the correct
results as does cairo_pdf. Other symbols produced with dev.copy2pdf seem
ok.


There have been reports like this before that turned out to be problems in the viewer, which made inappropriate font substitutions. How did you determine that the circles came out as q?
