Plots. Names in Russian.

[Dzmitry Kolkin]

Hello all! I'm a new one to this world of the ggplot users but have already found this package as the most useful one for my needs. Given the fact that I'm visualizing data that contains some names in Russian I encountered kind of a problem of saving plots in PDF files. The problem is that I'm using pdf() function that gives me ...... instead of names in Russian. I understand that the problem is in fonts installed, but still haven't solved the issue.
If anyone has a good and easy way to solve this conundrum I'd greatly appreciate if you share.

Can you try if `cairo_pdf()` does anything for you?

Cheers,

Roman

Thank you Roman! I tried and it worked. Although it solved the issue I had, I still want to figure out how to add Cyr fonts directly, for instance, from web recourse rather then use a library on my laptop. Any thoughts on this point?

Try installing Computer Modern fonts.

Installed. When use family = "CM Roman Cyrillic" the output says that "no font could be found for family "CM Roman Cyrillic". Example of script below.

theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, vjust = .5, size = 5, colour = "black"),
...
legend.text = element_text(size = 5, family = "CM Roman Cyrillic"),
...

Try finding the right distribution of CM fonts. In my case the issue was resolved after doing that.

Sergei, thank you for this reply. I'm afraid I don't understand what you meant by right distribution. I tried a number of Cyr fonts from Computer Modern pack but none of them worked for me. The same error all the time.
