+ (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.")
