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",
