Re: [R] Using system fonts in MacOS

2009-08-09 Thread Paul Murrell

Hi

I don't have a Mac, but looking at the source, it seems that 
Times-Roman is the default serif family, so something like ...


quartz(family=serif)

... might get you what you want(?)

Dear r-help,

I am using R for MacOS (R 2.9.1 GUI 1.28 Tiger build 32-bit (5444))  
and would like to be able to use MacOS system fonts for the labels on  
my plots. So far I have been unsuccessful, to get this to work.


Reading the help I found the quartz() and quartzFonts() commands. In  
an attempt to set the font family I have tried this,


quartz(family=Times-Roman),

and also this,

quartz.options(family=Times-Roman).

This opens a new Quartz window, but the labels are still in the  
default font, when I make a new plot.


I have two question:
(1) Why doesn't the quartz(family=Times-Roman) make the fonts change?

(2) Is it possible to use any MacOS system fonts with R and the Quartz  
device window?


Best regards,

Daniel Farrell
