R: plot fonts in Japanese

Posted at

png seems to work fine, even sometimes without the following addition.

png("/tmp/test.png")
par(family="HiraMaruProN-W4")
plot(iris, main = "アヤメのデータ")
dev.off()

Also, add the following chunk to the .Rprofile. This requires X.

setHook(packageEvent("grDevices", "onLoad"),
function(...){
if(.Platform$OS.type == "windows")
grDevices::windowsFonts(sans ="MS Gothic",
serif="MS Mincho",
mono ="FixedFont")
if(capabilities("aqua"))
grDevices::quartzFonts(
sans =grDevices::quartzFont(
c("Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W3",
"Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W6",
"Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W3",
"Hiragino Kaku Gothic Pro W6")),
serif=grDevices::quartzFont(
c("Hiragino Mincho Pro W3",
"Hiragino Mincho Pro W6",
"Hiragino Mincho Pro W3",
"Hiragino Mincho Pro W6")))
if(capabilities("X11"))
grDevices::X11.options(
fonts=c("-kochi-gothic-%s-%s---%d-------",
"-adobe-symbol-medium-r-
--%d-------"))
grDevices::pdf.options(family="Japan1GothicBBB")
grDevices::ps.options(family="Japan1GothicBBB")
}
)

attach(NULL, name = "JapanEnv")
assign("familyset_hook",
function() {
winfontdevs=c("windows","win.metafile",
"png","bmp","jpeg","tiff")
macfontdevs=c("quartz","quartz_off_screen")
devname=strsplit(names(dev.cur()),":")[[1L]][1]
if ((.Platform$OS.type == "windows") &&
(devname %in% winfontdevs))
par(family="sans")
if (capabilities("aqua") &&
devname %in% macfontdevs)
par(family="sans")
},
pos="JapanEnv")
setHook("plot.new", get("familyset_hook", pos="JapanEnv"))
setHook("persp", get("familyset_hook", pos="JapanEnv"))
