similar to: Problem with X11 fonts under Fedora 17.

Tried to do a plot just now and got an error: Error in text.default(2, 6, main, cex = cex) : X11 font -adobe-helvetica-%s-%s-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*, face 1 at size 16 could not be loaded This is reproducible (in my current environment) via: par(mfrow=c(2,2)) plot(1:10) text(2,6,"Oh, hell!",cex=2) This is of course not the real context in which the error originally manifested

Dear list, I would like to make a comment how to solve the X11 font problem under SuSE Linux (9.0) when you get the message: "X11 font at size 16 could not be loaded". After having modified /etc/X11/XF86config as root (see below) you have to run 'SuSEconfig' as root as well else nothing might be changed in the X-Server. After that no further messages should appear. HTH,

Hi, I am moving from Windows XP to Ubuntu 6.10 and installed R 2.4.0. When I run eg plot.lm (things work fine with plot.default - eg plot(rnorm(30),rnorm(30))) plot(lmobject) I can get the first plot and then this message: Hit <Return> to see next plot: Error in text.default(x, y, labels.id[ind],cex=cex, xpd=TRUE, : could not find any X11 fonts Check that the Font Path is correct

Greetings - Users of the box I'm putting together will need to be able to run R remotely, using a virtual desktop. One approach (that I'm trying) is to use VNC. So far, I can get the remote gnome desktop up on the server (running Fedora Core 5), and can start R from a terminal. However, for a lot of the R scripts I've tried, I get 'font errors' - the general error message

Hello, I''m inexperienced with linux, X11 and R. A font problem have surfaced. When I use pairs in John Fox''s car library e.g.: > pairs(cbind(prestige, income, education, women)) Error in text.default(x, y, txt, cex = cex, font = font) : X11 font at size 16 could not be loaded In addition: Warning message: freeing previous text buffer in GText > Evidently

Dear list, I have found an unusual behavior and would like to check if it is a possible bug, and if updating R would fix it. I am not sure if should post it in this mail list but I don't where is R bug tracker. The only mention I found that might relate to this is "If times is a computed quantity it is prudent to add a small fuzz." in rep() help, but not sure if it is related to

I recently upgraded my OS to Fedora 8 from Red Hat Enterprise Work Station 3. Before I upgraded certain operations would produce a warning to the effect that a desired font was not available so one had been substituted, which was okay. After the upgrade to Fedora 8, the plotting operation halts midway through and I get the following error message: "X11 font at size 6 could not be loaded"

I view plots on my screen with X11(width=.455*11, height=.455*8.5), which creates a small window with the American standard aspect ratio. Under R-2.0.1 and earlier, the default fonts were a reasonable size, but under R-2.1.0 they are too big and fat. I now have to either set pointsize=10 in X11(), or par(cex=.7) afterwards. The NEWS file has this to say about X11 fonts: The changes to font

In postscript graphs (pointsize = 10, different sizes in graph adjusted via cex) I would like to use different font sizes but get the following warning message: Warning messages: 1: X11 used font size 8 when 9 was requested 2: X11 used font size 8 when 7 was requested 3: X11 used font size 8 when 5 was requested This is probably not a R but a X11 problem, nevertheless I would be most

This question seemed to me to be more appropriate for r-devel than for r-help. My apologies if this is not the case. Recently I installed ``cairo'' on my lap-top so that I could make use of the (newish) polypath() function, with on-screen graphics. (The polypath() function does not work with X11(type="Xlib").) The installation went smoothly, X11(type="cairo") works

You would think installing via yum would handle dependencies, but perhaps fonts are not managed like dependencies..... Anyway, I installed tightvnc to test out its IPv6 support. Installed ok (after I erased regular vnc). But when I tried to start it, I got 5 warnings about: Font directory '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc' not found - ignoring (then the same message for Speedo, Type1,

Hi, I have just noticed the following problem with R2.1.0 running on SuSE 9.1, [However, version 2.0.1 (2004-11-15) on the same machine works Okay]: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > hist(rnorm(100)) Error in title(main = main, sub = sub, xlab = xlab, ylab = ylab, ...) : X11 font at size 14 could not be loaded > version _

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

What is the difference between xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi and xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi? Under what circumstances would one want to use the 75dpi version versus the 100dpi version? If you have both installed, does the xorg server just pick the one that it considers best based on some criteria? Should you have both installed? Is anything gained by having both installed? As you can see I don't know

Hi, I am seeking help with an error when running the example from R Documentation for TukeyHSD. The error occurs with any example I run, from any text book or website. thank you... > plot(TukeyHSD(fm1, "tension")).

Hi, I just did a fresh install of CentOS 5.5, as usual : base system, X Window system, GNOME, and then the apps I need. The MiscFixed fonts don't seem to be available in GNOME Terminal anymore. Has the package been renamed? Any idea where they went? It's my favourite font for the terminal. Cheers, Niki

I have a certain software on CentOS 6.4 that gave the following error: X Error of failed request: BadName (named color or font does not exist) Major opcode of failed request: 45 (X_OpenFont) Serial number of failed request: 15 Current serial number in output stream: 30 Running strace shows that the error happens just about here: writev(4,

Hi, I am experiencing something strange, and thought I would ask before reporting a bug. I trimmed it down to a self-contained example, attached as an R file. The purpose of the functions is to save the plots into a ps file and simultaneously plot them on an x11 device, but don't open a new one if there is already one opened (I don't want the repositioning / flicker). When running the
