A glance through ?postscript suggests other options, the simplest being
cairo_ps()
par(family = "Arial") # or par(family = "Andale mono") to be really
sure this works
plot(1:10)
dev.off()
?postscript also says:
More details of font families and encodings and especially
handling text in a non-Latin-1 encoding and embedding fonts can be
found in
Paul Murrell and Brian Ripley (2006) Non-standard fonts in
PostScript and PDF graphics. _R News_, 6(2):41-47. <URL:

which sounds like something you should read.
