Dear All,
I am having difficulties with creating PostScript documents using R graphics device. Here are some assumptions I'm working under:
(1) the only way to show an alpha glyph is using the Symbol font.
(2) no encoding allows for regular latin characters and Symbols such as alpha.
Basically, I generate the postscript from R graphics, and the part that I want to change looks like this:
which I manually change to:
Is there a better way to accomplish this? Can I simply include some command to temporarily change fonts? Is there a way to change the encoding files to include an extra glyph? I've tried all of the above, but cannot do so. The hack method works fine for my purposes; however, it is difficult to imagine that this would work for another user. Your help is appreciated.
