[R-SIG-Mac] The quartzFonts() vs "default system font"

[David Winsemius]

names(quartzFonts())

[1] "serif" "sans" "mono"

quartzFonts()[ names(quartzFonts() ) ]

$serif
[1] "Times-Roman" "Times-Bold" "Times-Italic" "Times-BoldItalic"

$sans
[1] "Helvetica" "Helvetica-Bold" "Helvetica-Oblique"
[4] "Helvetica-BoldOblique"

$mono
[1] "Courier" "Courier-Bold" "Courier-Oblique" "Courier-BoldOblique"

Is there a difference between the "system font" and the quartzFonts?

And I would suggest that the current (dead) link in the FAQ to the Apple information on key bindings:
