[Tikzdevice-bugs] Arial and Other Things

[Lorenzo Isella]

Hi Cameron,
And thanks for your suggestion. However, I am experiencing a problem:
when I redraw the figure (i.e. pdflatex tex file with the tikzpicture
wrapped up in the lines you gave me) there are some slight modifications
(e.g. in 10^3 the "3" moves too close to the "10") that spoil the plot.
I am using ggplot2+tikzDevice 0.4.8 (font size branch) and I wonder if
any latest version of tikzDevice would solve the problem.
I can try to provide you with a minimal example if needed.
Cheers

Lorenzo
