I think I've seen this work OK on amd64 (certainly with R running on
amd64, but my X server is usually on a 32 bit system). My guess would
be that something in the FontSet setup is messsed up on the system in
question, but I can't remember how this all fits together. Debugging
with a breakpoint in R_XLoadQueryFontSet() could be informative. The
XLC_LOCALE file for the locale factors in somewhere.
