Production Quality Report with R and knitr on Yen

Sometimes I actually use my experiments for real work.  For example, I wanted to send an update  on the Japanese Yen.  This was a great opportunity to use the chart created in Shading and Points with xtsExtra plot.xts.

I was fairly pleased with the finished product (click here if embed does not show).

    1. I had the same problem! I downloaded and installed the font on http://de.fonts2u.com/source-sans-pro-light.schriftart (MAC) But the result is not exactly the same as published above and I also have to compile it twice before it worked... There are still some problems in lines 96, 119 and 134. Hope I can fix it.
