@hrbrmstr I've started to look at the cairo question. Would you mind running a simple test script on a Mac and sending me the resulting png's?

@hrbrmstr Interestingly the italic text doesn't work under cairo; only an issue with Apple.

I'm >this< close to running a full on cross-platform R graphic device study. I have virtually no way to publish said work outside a blog post, but I think the state of graphics output in R is fairly abysmal, esp when it comes to fonts.

I presume you referring to https://github.com/hrbrmstr/r_device_tests ?

If you need help, please ping me.

In my experiments with png and standard fonts, I've found that the default driver under Windows could be improved by switching to cairo and Linux/Apple seem to have sensible defaults.
