[R] problems with submitting an eps-file created in R
Dear all I've got some problems submitting a manuscript, because I can't manage creating the favourable eps-file of a graph created in R. The journal's graphic requirements are as followed: format: eps width: max. 6 inches resolution: min. 1000 dpi supported fonts: Arial, Courier, Helvetica, Symbol, Times, Charcoal, Chicago, Geneva, Georgia, Monaco, Zapf, New York Itried to ways of getting appropriate file: 1.Creating eps-file in R by drawing into a x11-device and then: /dev.copy2eps(file = file.eps, onefile = TRUE, paper = a4, family = Helvetica, pointsize=1, print.it = FALSE, fonts = Helvetica) /2. Generating a postscript-file in R with / //postscript(file = file.ps, onefile = TRUE, paper = a4, family = Helvetica, width = 6, height = 2.2, pointsize=1, print.it = FALSE, fonts = Helvetica)/ an trying to convert it in ghostview. Neither approach brought the favoured result. The error message I got from the quality checking program was : Warning: Document is Missing Non-Standard Font One or more non-standard fonts used in this image is not embedded. Standard fonts are: Arial, Courier, Helvetica, Symbol, Times, Charcoal, Chicago, Geneva, Georgia, Monaco, Zapf, New York. In order to repair this problem, save your document with fonts embedded. Error: Missing Fonts Challenge One or more linked or used fonts cannot be found. This is caused by DigitalExpert not being able to locate fonts on your system. All fonts used in the document must be active or have a defined and valid path so that DigitalExpert can find them. Solution The only way to repair this problem is to make the fonts available to DigitalExpert, and then reprocess the files. In order to make fonts active, either activate them using a font management program, or move them into the system:fonts folder. 1. Obviously there's a font problem. Helvetica IS installed in my OS (windows 2000). Why DigitalExpert does not recognize the Helvetica font as a standard font? I thought the fonts option would embed the specified font in the file. Am I right or is there another way to embed fonts? 2. Is there a way to set up the resolution of the created ps/eps-file in R (until now I did the settings in ghostview)? 3. I did not find particulars about the pointsize option. What is the effect of changing the pointsize value?

The ?postscript man page suggests using onefile = FALSE to get an EPSF header directly. It also suggests paper=special, and horizontal=FALSE. If that doesn't work, you'll have to ask whoever wrote the quality checking program what they're looking for. Duncan Murdoch Neither approach brought the favoured result.

With best regards Christian You need to read the help for postscript(), which specifically tells you in the Details section to use: postscript(..., onefile = FALSE, horizontal = FALSE, paper = special) to generate EPS files. There is no resolution setting for a postscript file per se, since PS is a device independent vector based format and the resolution of the output is dependent upon the target device/viewer. One exception to this would be the embedding of a bitmapped object in a PS file, but that is not applicable here.

Am I right or is there another way to embed fonts? No, the help file explicitly says that it is your responsibility. EPS files do not normally have fonts embedded, but they do have DSC marks telling the enclosing application to do so. 2.
