You can tell R not to use Dingbats at the point of producing the pdf (see example below). This seems to have solved the problem! (pdf attached) Thanks! dat <- sample(1:1000,100) plot(dat) pdf("plot.pdf", useDingbats = FALSE) plot(dat) dev.off() affinityTest2.pdf

Ok wow! I had no idea they were coming through as fonts, and that R was using Dingbats characters as points!! I will investigate and try to get it to stop doing that... :) If I install ZapfDingbats, will that also help? Thanks!

Hi There, I want to use Affinity Designer for making tiny edits to [scientific] graphs made in other programs, e.g. axis labels, changing colours, etc. I used grant money to buy it, and now I discover there's a problem :( I created a pdf in R (screenshot "pdf1.png") I opened it in Affinity Designer, and "Affinity1.png" shows the output. You can see that the points are smaller, and the points and error bars are now misaligned. It's a huge problem to me if Affinity is moving the curves around, making my graphs inaccurate. Does anyone know if there's some better way of importing it? Or is there a better intermediate filetype I can use? Or can the misalignment be fixed? If it's relevant, it always tells me when I open the pdf that it is missing the font "Zapf Dingbats" and replacing with Arial. I don't use Dingbats, so that seems a bit weird. I unchecked the box "favour editable text over fidelity". If you leave the check box "Favour editable fonts over fidelity" checked, it is even worse at putting the points in the right place: see "pdf.2" vs "Affinity2.png". Thanks.
