Thanks David,
I already read your answer on february 9
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-mac/2012-February/008999.html
and sent an answer saying that your advice was the correct one.

Oh. I guess my memory for names is not so good. This posting first appeared in my mailer this morning. It seems to have gotten help up in "the Internet" for an unreasonably long time. I sort my mail by date received. I didn't notice the sent date. (It's also got a different Subject than the Feb 9 posting, so I think there is some evidence that you sent two separate messages.) Why it was held up by the mail server at phil3.ethz.ch for 2 weeks before sending on to the list is a mystery to me, but that is what the headers are telling me.

Hello,
I'm running R.app on Mac OS X.7.3.
I have an issue :

a = c(1,2,3)
plot(a)


produces a plot on a quartz window but without any text (labels, etc.)


This has been reported multiple times on this list. It generally means fonts used by that device have been corrupted. In this case you should look to see what quartzFonts() produces and if the missing text was the "sans"
flavor:

quartzFonts("sans")
$sans
[1] "Helvetica" "Helvetica-Bold" "Helvetica- Oblique"
[4] "Helvetica-BoldOblique"

Use Font Book.app to investigate. If I'm right, you will find a (possibly
duplicated) blank version for Helvetica. Delete it.

a = c(1,2,3)
pdf("/Users/myhome/Desktop/test.pdf")
plot(a)
dev.off()


produces the expected pdf file with axis labels, x values and y values.

Here's some info on my system :

sessionInfo()

R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22)
Platform: x86_64-apple-darwin9.8.0/x86_64 (64-bit)

locale:

attached base packages:
[1] stats     graphics  grDevices utils     datasets  methods   base

quartzFonts()

$serif
[1] "Times-Roman"      "Times-Bold"       "Times-Italic"
[4] "Times-BoldItalic"

$sans
[1] "Helvetica"             "Helvetica-Bold"
[3] "Helvetica-Oblique"     "Helvetica-BoldOblique"

$mono
[1] "Courier"             "Courier-Bold"        "Courier-Oblique"
[4] "Courier-BoldOblique"


Do you have any idea on what could cause this issue ?
Thanks,
Manuel
