[R] Some problems with X11

[Rafael Rosolem]

Yuelin Li and Joerg van den Hoff,

Thank you very much for your emails. Apparently, I found that xorg.conf 
has all the directories related to fonts specified as 
/usr/share/X11/fonts/. However, the files are located in 
/usr/share/fonts/X11/. I manually changed the paths for each line and 
tried R again. It is now working!

Thanks a lot
