Linux version: RHEL3 This worked happily for quite some time but suddenly, I received this message: > x11() Error in x11() : could not find any X11 fonts Check that the Font Path is correct. I can't think of what could have happened to have changed anything. So I tried this: $ /usr/sbin/chkfontpath -l Current directories in font path: 1: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled 2: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled 3: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled 4: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc 5: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 6: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo 7: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic 8: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF 9: /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 10: I don't know what one would normally expect to see there, so I don't know if that's strange or not. The space after the 10: looks suspicious I must admit but it might be as it should. I notice in the archives that some people had a problem getting the font path set in the first place, but that can't be the case here. Someone had a problem with Gentoo but doesn't seem to have any responses. Either that or the threading not working at http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/71651.html makes it tricky to find one. In any case that one doesn't appear to have worked previously anyway. The only thing I can think of which might have made a difference is my addition to my .Rprofile to change the default device. However, removing that change did not fix the problem. Nothing else has a problem (including the pdf plotting device), so it's not exactly a disaster, but I'd like to know how it could have arisen.
