[Bioc-devel] Build error on Mac re: Arial font and polygon edges

[Hervé Pagès]

Hi Shraddha,

Hundreds of Bioconductor packages are affected since yesterday. Please 
ignore.

Today we've upgraded R to R 4.1 alpha on machv2, and made a tweak to the 
setup, so hopefully these errors will be gone on tomorrow's report.

Best,
H.
