in `R', getOpton("X11fonts") tells you which font family `X11()' is using by default (but you can alter this in the `X11' call if need be) and the size 8 subtype seems to be missing. you may compare the above with the output from `xlsfonts' in the unix shell, or use `xfontsel' to browse interactively through the installed fonts to verify whether `R's complaining is justified. probable solution: use some existing sufficiently complete (different sizes) font-family in the `X11()' call or copy over the default fonts from the labtop where it works. hth, joerg > > I am also running R on a Ubuntu Linux Edgy distro.
