Thanks again for the suggestions thus far. In response: 1) I did enter the quartzFonts() command, and I received what I assume to be the expected output: > 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" 2) If I output my plots directly to a pdf file, the text is included just fine. If I run identical commands to be output to the default device, no text is displayed. This seems to indicate that it could be some kind of problem with the Quartz device? 3) The output that I received from the par() command after plotting a graph (with no tex) is identical to that received from another user who is able to see text graphs. Ultimately, it would be good to determine and fix the root cause of this problem, as it would be convenient to be able to view graphs immediately upon generating them. However, outputting to a PDF file gives me a good workaround for the moment.
