(description
"The extrafont package makes it easier to use fonts other than the basic
PostScript fonts that R uses. Fonts that are imported into extrafont can be
used with PDF or PostScript output files. There are two hurdles for using
fonts in PDF (or Postscript) output files:
@enumerate
@item Making R aware of the font and the dimensions of the characters.
@item Embedding the fonts in the PDF file so that the PDF can be displayed
properly on a device that doesn't have the font. This is usually needed if
you want to print the PDF file or share it with others.
@end enumerate
The extrafont package makes both of these things easier.")
