Hi,

After migrating to Leopard I have problems with X11 when sunning R
from the command line (which I prefer). I acknowledge that this most
likely is not an R issue, but I thought that somebody else on this
list might have had the same problem and has a nice solution to offer...

When trying to plot something in R from the command line (it works
however from the R GUI) I get the following error message:

===========================================
Error in X11() :
  could not find any X11 fonts
Check that the Font Path is correct.
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In X11() :
  locale not supported by Xlib: some X ops will operate in C locale
2: In X11() : X cannot set locale modifiers
===========================================

So, it seems like R cannot find the fonts. Issuing xset -q in the
terminal generates the following output:

Bug Mode: compatibility mode is disabled
PMS (Energy Star):

===========================================

To me the font path in this output seems correct.

I have disabled all DISPLAY settings that I previously had in
my .bash_profile and my PATH variable is set according to: export PATH=
$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/Applications:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/X11/lib:.

Any suggestions about how to fix this problem is greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Martin.
