[R-SIG-Mac] No labels in plots - none of the solutions that I've come across have worked

[J Greenbaum]

Thanks for all of the feedback so far.  I was able to get it to work
temporarily by shutting down R, issuing 'sudo atsutil databases -remove',
then starting R again. Strangely though, when I started R this morning the
issue returned. Going through the same process brings back my fonts. Not
sure why the fix lasts only temporarily, but happy to have this workaround
for now...
