[R] R 2.6.0 Error in X11() : could not find X11 fonts
All- I have rhel4 and just installed R2.6.0. The error suggests it cant find the font library. I have failed to trouble shoot. Can anyone help me?

I'm interested to know about your experience. I use rhel3 and ran
into a similar problem. BUT it wasn't a problem when I first started
R-2.6.0. I've looked through archives and found that people had a
similar problem with Gentoo Linux which was fixed by some X.org
rejigging. But that was with earlier versions of R which never posed
a problem for me (nor for you it would seem).
I suspect that there's a package I updated which has screwed up
things. If you've only recently installed 2.6.0, I suspect you would
already have the updated (i.e. buggy) package.
Any evidence to support my hypothesis?
best
