ggplot2 pdf import in Adobe Illustrator missing font AdobePiStd

Question

I created several simple ggplot2 plots and saved them to PDF files using the following commands:

p <- ggplot(plotobject, aes(x=Pos, y=Pval),res=300)
ggsav         


        

Answer 1

Use useDingbats=FALSE for the pdf output, then Illustrator will no complain.

pdf("example.pdf", useDingbats=FALSE)
ggplot(plotobject, aes(x=Pos, y=Pval),res=300)
dev.off()
