Seems to be a Mac problem, works ok for me under Windows. You might report
this as a bug, but a quick workaround would be to try CairoJPEG instead.

[R] Failure to produce italics in jpeg

2010-01-23 Thread Dennis Fisher

Colleagues,

Using R 2.10.1 in OS X (Snow Leopard), I created JPEG documents that  
were intended to include italicized text.  In the JPEG versions, the  
italics appear in bold-face.  The identical code (except for the call  
to the device) yields italics in PDF.  A minimal example is:


PDF version:

pdf(plot.pdf)
plot(1,1)
mtext(bquote(italic(P)  .(0.005)))
dev.off()


JPEG version:

jpeg(file=plot.jpeg, pointsize=12, bg=white, res=150, quality=100)
plot(1,1)
mtext(bquote(italic(P)  .(0.005)))
dev.off()


I can't find any info in the help pages for either jpeg or bquote that  
explain this.


Any ideas?

Dennis
