[R] Font problem

Some plots fail due to a problem with the X11 fonts.  I get a message that 
"X11 font at size 22 could not be loaded."  The demo() graphics routine for 
instance dies during the third chart.  The graphics demo calls "font.main=1" 
and that seems to be where the error is.  I believe this is due to a 
configuration problem on my system, however I can't find where in the 
environment font.main looks for the font to use.

I am running SuSE 9.0 and use the KDE desktop.  However, I have also 
replicated this in GNOME and WindowMaker.  Varying the fonts used by the 
console does notb effect the result.

Thanks,
John Dougherty
