Dear Niall,
I'll update the Rcmdr macOS installation notes to reflect Simon's information
about XQuartz causing a font cache to be built on first installation.
I'm glad that the Rcmdr is now working normally for you and your students. I
wouldn't code this as "user error," but as a previously
Dear Simon,
Thanks for the explanation -- it makes sense of what Niall and some of his
students observed and why I haven't seen this problem, because XQuartz was
first installed on my Mac years ago.
Best,
John

Thanks to everyone who has responded.
The consensus view seems to be that the reboot after initial installation is
vital and I/ we probably missed that! Also that very first use may involve more
system preparation to generate the font cache, so it may run more slowly until
that is complete.
Bill,
that has been always the case. You have to re-install XQuartz with every macOS
upgrade. There are many issues with Catalina, but at least this one is not new
;).
Cheers,
Simon

Hello,
Regarding R with XQuartz on Mac--I found one reference claiming that
after upgrading to MacOS 10.15 Catalina, users may be required to
re-install XQuartz. The MacOS Catalina installer moves/quarantines
prior XQuartz installations to a folder called "Relocated Items",
which may disrupt
Just a quick note in the hopes that is may be helpful: X11 (fontconfig, really)
creates a font cache the first time is it started which can take substantial
time depending on hardware (HDD vs SSD...) during which XQuartz doesn't
respond. So I wouldn't be surprised if that was actually
I neglected to include the list in my reply, which appears below..

Eberhard, Thanks - I'm also an RStudio user, but am trying to use Rcmdr as a
gentle introduction to R for a course (building up to RStudio use later).
John, thanks also for responding (not at all an Rcmdr issue, I think - that's
just what happened to show the problem). Tech details:
