Calibri font doesn't work in postscript device, only in .PNG
The png device works fine. The postscript device either gives me irregularly spaced letters, or an error like the following:
Error in mtext(unit_text, at = par("usr")[1] - (par("usr")[2] - par("usr")[1])/30, : metric information not available for this device
Calibri is a screen-optimized font that comes preinstalled with all new versions of Windows / Microsoft Office as the default font for Powerpoint and Word, and so it's a safe choice for use in Powerpoint files that may be transferred across computers. I would like my R vector graphics to have the same font as the powerpoint text.
Has anyone gotten Calibri to work on their system? Might there be a fix for this problem? Thank you for your help.
