Although TrueType fonts can be used on both the Macintosh and Windows platforms, slight differences in the way each operating system handles the fonts lead vendors to produce separate versions of the font for each platform.

windowsFonts(Calibri=windowsFont("Calibri"))
par(family="Calibri")
plot(rnorm(1:10))
