[R] X11 font issue on Linux when creating a jpeg or png from a graphNEL object
I am trying to write a png or jpeg file from a plot (graphNEL.object) on a cluster running Suse Linux and get the following error using either device: jpeg(filename = fileName, width = width, height = height, pointsize = 12, bg = "white") plot(result.gN, layout.param, nodeAttrs = nAttrs, edgeAttrs = eAttrs, main="Title") dev.off() Error during wrapup: could not find any X11 fonts Check that the Font Path is correct. When I do xset -q I get: Keyboard Control: auto repeat: on key click percent: 0 LED mask: 00000000 auto repeat delay: 500 repeat rate: 30 auto repeating keys: 00ffffffdffffbbf fadfffdfffdfe5ef ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 400 bell duration: 100 Pointer Control: acceleration: 2/1 threshold: 4 Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 0 cycle: 0 Colors: default colormap: 0x20 BlackPixel: 0 WhitePixel: 16777215 Font Path: /usr/share/fonts/misc,/usr/share/fonts/truetype,/usr/share/fonts/Type1,/usr/share/fonts/100dpi,/usr/share/fonts/75dpi Bug Mode: compatibility mode is disabled DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 0 Suspend: 0 Off: 0 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On Font cache: Server does not have the FontCache Extension It looks to me like the fonts I need are on the font path per http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html, but I am not sure what the message about Font cache means.
