I don't think this is a R internal problem. It seems that some fonts are missing that were not included in your X11 installation. However, you could upgrade to R 2.2.1 and hope that the problem disappears.
Do so by adding: "deb http://cran.R-project.org/bin/linux/debian stable/" to your /etc/apt/sources.list (or via synaptic) and reinstall/update R. On my ubuntu-breezy system (no laptop, amd-k7) I never had any problems with this configuration. Hope this helps Dominik Am Dienstag, den 24.01.2006, 14:53 +0100 schrieb Petar Milin: > I am using R 2.1.1 on i486-pc-gnu-linux (Ubuntu Breezy).
