[Tikzdevice-bugs] getMetrics error

[Anh Nguyen]

No matter what I do, I cannot get tikzDevice to run. I've already set the
correct path to my LaTex compiler but this is the error I get running
"testRTikZDevice.R"-- I'm at a loss to why this is happening.

Error in getMetricsFromLatex(TeXMetrics) :
TeX was unable to calculate metrics for the following string
or character:

Test 1

Common reasons for failure include:
* The string contains a character which is special to LaTeX unless
escaped properly, such as % or $.
* The string makes use of LaTeX commands provided by a package and
the tikzDevice was not told to load the package.

The contents of the LaTeX log of the aborted run have been printed above,
it may contain additional details as to why the metric calculation failed.
In addition: Warning messages:
