Hello all,
I suspect my problem is not new: I am having difficulty getting an alpha character to print in a PostScript file made by R graphics (in my legend). At first, I figured out how to actually get the character on the screen; however, when I saved the graphic to a PostScript file the alpha character was replaced by "..". Obviously, something is not working when encoding. I've tried to change the encoding using ps.options; however, no matter what I try R encodes the file using ISOLatin1Encoding. I'm not even certain that changing the encoding type would solve my problem. I really do not want to resort to using another file format, as the resulting images are inferior. Is there something I'm missing here? My current solution to the problem: editing the PostScript by hand. I am no PostScript wizard, so it is not particularly pretty. Here is what the code originally looks like: /ps 12 def /Font1 findfont 12 s 0 setgray 167.68 434.79 (..=0.05) 0 0 0 t 167.68 420.39 (..=0.005) 0 0 0 t 167.68 405.99 (..=0.0005) 0 0 0 t and here is what I've changed it to: /ps 12 def /Font1 findfont 12 s 0 setgray 167.64 317.78 (Lower Limit, = 0.05) 0 0 0 t 167.64 303.38 (Upper Limit, = 0.05) 0 0 0 t /Symbol 12 selectfont 240 303.38 moveto /alpha glyphshow 240 317.78 moveto /alpha glyphshow The problem with this solution is that it is a terrible hack. Can someone please help me find a better solution to this problem?
