Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Cairo: Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
I am also experiencing a performance regression for svg and png after upgrading to R 3.1 on Linux. Could that be related to this problem, or was this problem specific to OSX?

That was specific to the fontconfig binary linked into R for the binary distribution and the config files shipped with it - it had nothing to do with R itself and thus shouldn't really be relevant to other platforms.

Re: [R-SIG-Mac] Cairo: Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file
Can you try setting FC_DEBUG environment variable to see what fonts.conf file it is loading, what fonts it tries to read, etc? The fontconfig library will print useful output to stderr when the right env bars are set.
