[R] RE: ghostscript errors

[Strumila, John]

Well, my fault as usual...

I didn't have an environment variable setup to point to the 'type1' fonts.
It looks like the old gs version probably had a hard coding for the font
path, but when I upgraded the fonts were put somewhere else.

thanks,
John Strumila
