Hi,
In case it matters, please take a look at

http://bit.ly/9ATz9V

where it is explained how to use arial fonts in R. I tried the
suggestion (BTW, the path is /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/ on
my Ubuntu machine).
The recipe allowed me to use arial fonts in ggplot2 plots (where I was
using simply pdf() and not tikzDevice to generate the pdf file).
I do not know if I can specify the font family in a tikzDevice call, but
you probably do ;-).
Cheers

Lorenzo
