[R-SIG-Mac] X11 problem after migration to Leopard

[Martin Eklund]

Hi,

After migrating to Leopard I have problems with X11 when sunning R  
from the command line (which I prefer). I acknowledge that this most  
likely is not an R issue, but I thought that somebody else on this  
list might have had the same problem and has a nice solution to offer...

When trying to plot something in R from the command line (it works  
however from the R GUI) I get the following error message:

===========================================
Error in X11() :
   could not find any X11 fonts
Check that the Font Path is correct.
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In X11() :
   locale not supported by Xlib: some X ops will operate in C locale
2: In X11() : X cannot set locale modifiers
===========================================

So, it seems like R cannot find the fonts. Issuing xset -q in the  
terminal generates the following output:

===========================================

100dpi/,/usr/X11/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/
Bug Mode: compatibility mode is disabled
PMS (Energy Star):
   Display is not capable of DPMS
Font cache:
   Server does not have the FontCache Extension
===========================================

To me the font path in this output seems correct.

I have disabled all DISPLAY settings that I previously had in  
my .bash_profile and my PATH variable is set according to: export PATH= 
$PATH:/usr/local/bin:/Applications:/usr/X11/bin:/usr/X11/lib:.

Any suggestions about how to fix this problem is greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Martin.
