[R] problem with pdf() on Mac Os X

[Don MacQueen]

I had this problem last fall. It went away after a while, and I 
believe the "fix" was an OS version upgrade.
Later, I was sending PDF files created with R to a colleague. When I 
viewed them, the labels were there.
When he viewed them on his computer, they were not displayed. He 
upgraded his OS, after which they
were displayed.

Here is my version information, and note that I have a later version 
of the OS (10.3.8).

>  version
          _
