Solution!! Peter, that seems to do the trick!
dev.copy2eps(file="test.eps", useKerning=FALSE) correctly places the labels without splitting them! the same also works with postscript() of course. I also found another thread where this was solved http://www.nabble.com/postscript-printer-breaking-up-long-strings-td23322197.html here - sorry for duplicating threads. Apparently it is considered a feature of the printer! I don't understand the string width calculation rationale, and I hope it doesn't cause other problems along the way, but it's looking good for now! As for Zeljko... nice one :) of course I thought of it, but I do have more than 26 labels, and furthermore this just annoyed me so much, I had to figure it out! ipak hvala! Thanks guys!
