You should not be asking for strwidth() without setting up a coordinate
system.

is not 'works ok'. That's not to say that there is not a quartz bug here
as well.

Dear R-Mac-users,
I got a crash using strwidth() on a quartz device. For example:
par(family = "mono")
strwidth(c("a", "aaa"))
*** caught bus error ***
address 0x10, cause 'non-existent physical address'
Traceback:
1: strwidth(text)
Possible actions:
1: abort (with core dump, if enabled)
2: normal R exit
3: exit R without saving workspace
4: exit R saving workspace
Selection:
Please consider that not setting family to "mono" will result in no crash
when strwidth() is called. Also, using the x11 device works ok.
For example:
x11()
par(family = "mono")
strwidth(c("a", "aaa"))
