similar to: Error in X11(): Font Path?

Hello, I have recently upgraded to the new modular Xorg-7.0 in my gentoo laptop with R-2.2.1. Although everything seems to work fine, now in R I am unable to open the X11 device: -----8<--------------- Error in X11() : could not find any X11 fonts Check that the Font Path is correct. -----8<--------------- It happens any time that I want to plot anything or simply to open the display.

I'm getting Error in strwidth(...) : X11 font at size 15 could not be loaded kinds of errors when I try to change cex to something *other* than 1 (works OK otherwise). I can't get through to RSiteSearch() right now, but as I recall my search of it only revealed people who had problems because they had failed to install fonts: my Knoppix/tracking Debian unstable distribution claims

I'm trying to work out if this is a bug or a feature of CentOS 6 ... it appears the file /usr/share/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir is missing on CentOS 6 The file is owned by the RPM xorg-x11-fonts-misc - but is a 'ghost' file - that is, it is owned by the RPM but doesn't exist in the RPM However, nothing (as far as I can tell) re-generates this file on CentOS 6 In CentOS

I previously posted about this problem on the r-help list, but was told that I should switch over to the r-sig-fedora list. So here goes: When trying to do a plot in a certain context I 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)

HI All, I got this Error message, when I tried to plot ?X11 font -adobe-helvetica-%s-%s-*-*-%d-*-*-*-*-*-*-*, face 5 at size 15 could not be loaded sessionInfo() R version 3.0.0 (2013-04-03) Platform: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu (64-bit) locale: ?[1] LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8??????

I'm trying to use wine on a remote X11 desktop (my Mac iBook), and everything works except for the system fonts. I can see fonts in the system menus (File, Edit, Help, etc), but not anywhere else on the application. For example, when I run winecfg on the remote linux box (running Slax "Kill Bill" edition), I see *no* text whatsoever. When running winemine, I can only see text

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

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

I am trying to use ggplot() to produce a graph and am getting warnings that I don't understand. This is happening from within RStudio, but also happens if I start Windows R GUI. Can anyone help me understand the warning and how to make sure the right fonts are designated? The relevant code fragment is: x11(width=7, height = 7) library(ggplot2) # Now some Distance ~ Time plots p2 <-

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

Hello, I am having some problems with the X11 display in a gentoo linux laptop with R compiled manually. (https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-help/2006-March/089701.html) Whether I can open the X11 device and use it when I am using 'ion' as a window manager, I can't open it using 'gnome', due to a problem related to fonts: -----8<--------------- Error in X11() : could not

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

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 _

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

I'm having trouble figuring out which RPM would contain X11 fonts that go by names containing: "-courier-medium-r-*-18-" "-courier-bold-r-*-18-" "-courier-medium-o-*-18-" in sizes 18 (shown), 14, and 12. so far I can't figure it out. I've looked at the contents of all the xorg-x11-fonts-* packages that "yum list available | grep

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,
