R help - Nov 2003 - problem with x11 and PS devices on different machines

Dear R help,

I run R at home and the work, I have Debian Linux on both machines and
the same 'r-base-core' deb packages installed. So I tried to run the
same R script, which plots graph in x11 device and then dump it to eps
file (x11 and eps you'll find attached). On the home machine there are
some stranges in x11 plot as well as in eps file.  On the work machine
all the ok, despite of that I use the _same_ version of binary deb
package. May be any troubles with the font paths? Thank you in advance
for any suggestions!

I ran the unix tool 'file' on your two attached files:

x11-good.png: PNG image data, 600 x 420, 8-bit/color RGB,
non-interlaced

x11-bad.png: PNG image data, 449 x 315, 8-bit/color RGB,
non-interlaced

It could be that your X11 Modes differ between both machines,
with a different number of dots per inch. 

Hth,
