Tena, I had the same problem myself a few months ago, when I upgraded to OS X 10.6.5 (from OS X 10.4) I don't know why this happened, but by trial and error I found that putting family = "sans" into the plot command brought back the labels.
Bizarrely though things recently started working normally again, with no updates/upgrades on my part. Strange, eh? Anyway, try the family = "sans" thing, it might help.

Greetings, I have noticed a bit odd behavior of plot() on OS X 10.6.5. The R I downloaded from cran is R-2.12.1.pkg. Below is what I did: R version 2.12.1 (2010-12-16) . . [R.app GUI 1.35 (5665) x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0] > foo <- c( 4, 6, 9 ,12 ) > moo <- c( 34, 37, 41, 49 ) > plot( foo ~ moo ) This gives me a plot with no labels. No "moo", "foo", or numbers under tics. But, > X11() > plot( foo ~ moo ) This gives me xlabel ("moo"), ylabel ("foo"), and numbers under tics. In the first case, by default, I am using quartz, while the second, obviously, I am using X11. Does anybody know why this happens under quartz and not under X11? Thank you.
