Hi,
I'm using plot.lda (R1.4.0 on linux) and,
if dimen > 2, I get the error:
Error in text.default(x, y, txt, cex = cex, font = font) :
X11 font at size 16 could not be loaded
The traceback indicates that the problem
comes from pairs(). I've tried several
cex and font values, always with the
same error.
The same command works fine with pdf()
If I'm missing fonts, how could I find out
which one is missing? I have fonts such as:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/charB08.pcf.gz
Thanks
Agus

I think the problem comes from your X server (my wild guess is that you tried Xfree4.something) The modifications posted some time ago on this list seem to work (in reply to the very same problem) still... In your file /usr/X11R6/XFree86config, you will discard the "unscaled" statements in the 'fonts' section (make a backup of XFree86Config before experimenting) Hopin' it helps, Laurent On Tue, Jun 04, 2002 at 02:08:56PM +0200, Agustin Lobo wrote:> > Hi, > > I'm using plot.lda (R1.4.0 on linux) and, > if dimen > 2, I get the error: > Error in text.default(x, y, txt, cex = cex, font = font) : > X11 font at size 16 could not be loaded > > The traceback indicates that the problem > comes from pairs().

I did search the archive for x11 and font prior to send my message and could not find anything.

Thanks, I had searched the 2002 and 2001 archives, your "some
time ago" was quite a time ago.
The problem was solved by adding
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
to /etc/X11/XF86Config
(I had the unscaled versions:
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
)
The hard point here has been relating the error message in R
to the Helvetica fonts and the Helvetica fonts to the
above Font paths.
Might it be to consider that the R installation program
check for the presence of these font paths in XF86Config ?
Or perhaps a note in the Rinstall guide?
