Comment 8 for bug 219709

I have a similar import problem, but it exists in Illustrator as well.
When I generate a PDF graphic using the stats language R, if my plots use the open or closed circle they are replaced by "q". Why a q? In illustrator I can select all of the q's and then replace them with the open circle font that illustrator has. In inkscape there does not seem to be a function to do this or an open circle font. If I use any PDF viewer they are open circles so it is some kind of import problem. Since R is open source and Inkscape is open source maybe the open source people could all share their font sets so they are more compatible? I have attached an example plot.

For R I am using
