[R] Problem with pdf device.

[David Orme]

Hi,

I seem to have broken the pdf device on my installation. I'm running R 
1.6.1 under Apple's X11 on darwin 6.3. Running the following commands 
straight after starting R (and without touching 'par') gives different 
results - the png file looks fine but I'm missing axes and labels on 
the pdf. If I try and print the pdf, axes and labels appear but with 
text characters as boxes and the plotted points vanish. I've attached 
the resulting graphics files. Inspecting the two sets of par() outputs 
doesn't show any huge differences that I can see 
("bg","cin","cra","csi","cxy","din","fin","mai","pin","plt" differ 
between the two but the differences are small). Has anyone got any idea 
what I've done to my setup and how to fix it?

Thanks,
David
