As I use Fedora, there may be some subtleties in play here that I am missing. However, the message also suggests a problem with your locale, which has also been referred to in posts and is referenced in the R Installation and Administration Manual in Appendix C.1 "X11 Issues". A quick workaround may be to start R, but set LANG=C on the command line first: $ LANG=C R Then try to start the X11() device and see if you still get the messages. If the locale message is gone, but the font path related messages are still present, use: RSiteSearch("X11 Ubuntu") which will present you with some possibilities for fixing the xorg.conf file relative to defining font path settings. Seems that this is somewhat common on Ubuntu upgrades where the font path changed from one version to another, at least from Dapper to Edgy anyway. HTH, Marc Schwartz
Hi Pau, The error message indicates that the Font Path is perhaps wrong. I think you should set the font path. I do not use Linux. I never encounter this problem in Windows XP. About the warning messages, you can try "?locales" to get some information. These warnings do not prevent the function from working. ---------------------- On Wed, Aug 15, 2007 10:03, Pau Marc Munoz Torres wrote:> Hi > > I'm working in a ubuntu feisty OS, when I try to start X11() iget> the > following message > >> X11() > Error in X11() : could not find any X11 fonts > Check that the Font Path is correct. > In addition: Warning messages: > 1: locale not supported by Xlib: some X ops will operate in Clocale> 2: X cannot set locale modifiers > > Can some body tell me what to do? > > > -- > Pau Marc Mu?oz Torres > > Laboratori de Biologia Computacional > Institut de Biotecnologia i Biomedicina Vicent > Villar > Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona > E-08193 Bellaterra (Barcelona) > > tel?fon: 93 5812807 > Email : paumarc.munoz at bioinf.uab.cat > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >
