Ah, sorry, I didn't read well. acutally I'm seeing the same thing as you. For 
the record:

# set up
par(family="sans")
z<-1:10
barplot(z, main="Title", sub="subtitle")

# works
dev.print(device=pdf, file="~/Desktop/print.pdf")

# does not work (essentially, what happens for Device->Print)
dev.print(device=postscript, file="~/Desktop/print.ps")

Hm, but I get the same for pdfFonts(). In fact, pdfFonts()$sans and 
postscriptFonts()$sans are identical, here. However, printing works for pdf, 
but not for postscript. I think, it would be supposed to work for postscript, 
as well (or if anything, it should fail for both).

Does anybody have an insight on this?
